Inside this resource
PassMachine Pulmonary Board Review: Obstructive Disease and Critical Care
Raj Dasgupta opens with asthma overview and treatment, special circumstances, and a dedicated COPD session, while Jonathan Puchalski covers obstructive airway disease. The critical care module is one of the most substantial — Puchalski addresses non-lung critical care, ventilator modes and respiratory mechanics, and ARDS management including weaning and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation.
Sleep Medicine, Infections, and Neoplasms
Shirin Shafazand leads respiratory sleep medicine, with Dasgupta covering polysomnography, insomnia, hypersomnia, and circadian disorders. Infection modules are split between Robert A. Balk (sepsis, abscess, emboli, pneumonias) and Puchalski (fungal and mycobacterial disease), with Fayez Kheir addressing opportunistic pathogens and bronchiolar disease. Douglas Arenberg handles neoplasm diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and syndromes across two sessions.
Diffuse Lung Disease, Vascular, and Transplant
Shafazand covers restrictive lung disease classification, interstitial lung disease diagnosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and occupational and environmental disease. Vascular disease sessions address pulmonary vascular diseases and thromboembolic disease. Puchalski contributes pleural disease, quality and safety, ethics, and basic science. The course concludes with Shafazand’s transplantation session and epidemiology and statistics module.
Who this serves
- Pulmonologists — preparing for initial board certification or recertification in pulmonary disease
- Pulmonary and critical care fellows — building comprehensive knowledge across all pulmonary domains
- Internists and hospitalists — seeking a structured pulmonary medicine update with board-oriented framing
