Educational aims
Pulmonary rehabilitation has proven to be an effective therapy in chronic disabled respiratory patients, in particular in COPD. However, still little attention exists regarding the interest of clinicians for rehabilitation. This course may offer a new opportunity to discuss, making the experts (both medical doctors and physiotherapists) interact each other in order to give the participants the most updated messages on why, how and when this treatment should be delivered. All this will be done in keeping with the recent guidelines jointly advocated by the ERS and ATS. Nonetheless, this course will cover a topic never debated (up to now) in the context of ERS school.
