The ISHLT Academy: Core Competencies in Lung Transplantation will provide a concise review of clinical knowledge and essential professional skills to facilitate best practice of surgical and medical aspects involved in the care of patients during assessment as candidates and as recipients of lung transplantation. The course consists of focused presentations with an emphasis on clinical practice. All lectures will be delivered by internationally recognized experts in the field. Related topics will be discussed in Question and Answer sessions following each lecture. The course will be interactive and assist participants with more detailed individual review. This course is designed to be of benefit for both seasoned clinicians and allied professionals practicing in the field, but is primarily arranged for current trainee physicians, Fellows, and attending providers in the early stages of their careers.
