Learning Objectives for the 3nd Annual Year in Review CME Evening (Pre-Conference Evening Event)

What learning objectives were developed for the overall event?

The 3rd Annual Year in Review will focus pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung diseases (ILD). The session on pulmonary hypertension will update physicians involved in the assessment and management of patients with pulmonary hypertension based on the recent publication of the 6th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension.

After the session on pulmonary, participants will be able to:

• Summarize the recent changes and updates in the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for patients with pulmonary hypertension based on the recent publication from the 6th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension.

After the session on ILD research, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate a practical evidence-informed approach to optimizing maintenance pharmacotherapy in patients with ILD.

Learning Objectives: UofT 13th Annual Day in Respirology

A. Overall Event:
