Fellowship in Pulmonology – Level II
Fellowship in Pulmonology – Level II is organized by Medvarsity Online Limited and will be held from Mar 06, 2023 - Mar 05, 2024.
Course Description:
Pulmonary medicine has progressed tremendously over the years to establish itself as a critical super-specialty in India. The scope of bronchoscopy has increased due to the availability of advanced equipment and experience. A trained physician can perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic pulmonary procedures.
The Fellowship in Pulmonology – Level II course is for practitioners like you who want to work in the pulmonology department. It comprehensively covers the managing principles for various pulmonary circulatory disorders, pleural disorders, neoplasms of the lung, pleura, and mediastinal tumors.
This Pulmonology Fellowship course offers you the opportunity to explore and study major respiratory diseases and allows you to apply knowledge for direct clinical benefit.
The course is a blended learning program consisting of video lectures, and reading material with integrated assignments with eminent pulmonology faculty that give you a clinical perspective on the theory and consequently, improve patient clinical outcomes.
Adjunct to this, you will be a part of a 12-week clinical rotation at a leading corporate hospital under the supervision of renowned professionals, which will allow you to apply the theoretical knowledge gained to practice.
Learning complex medical concepts in the traditional didactic textbook and lecture format can be alienating for students. It prevents the opportunity to apply this knowledge clinically.
We at Medvarsity help every physician with the ability to fast-track their career and enable them to better serve the communities in which they practice. Join us and let us impact healthcare through education.
