|
 Educational Aims
- Provide a comprehensive training in the practical aspects of spirometry
- Foster understanding of physiological mechanisms and rationale
- Provide state-of-the-art knowledge on recognising the indications and protocols used in clinical settings (i.e. when to use which test)
- Increase the understanding and interpretation of spirometry test results in a systematic fashion
- Provide familiarity with the new ATS/ERS standardisation of spirometry
