CTS is pleased to be launching a new online CME program in collaboration with MDBriefCase.
This one-hour accredited program (Section 1) provides updated evidence-based recommendations from the CTS Clinical Practice Guideline on Pharmacotherapy in patients with COPD – 2019 Update of Evidence. This case-based program summarizes important pharmacotherapy recommendations and provide a step-by-step approach to guide treatment choices in clinical practice. Specifically, the program addresses how a clinician chooses appropriate maintenance pharmacotherapies in patients with stable COPD to reduce symptom burden, notably dyspnea and exercise intolerance, and reduce the risk of future acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD).
Developed by Drs. Mohit Bhutani, Jean Bourbeau, Paul Hernandez and Darcy Marciniuk, the program is directed to respirologists, family physicians, medical trainees, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals working in COPD. After completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Demonstrate a practical Canadian approach and pharmacotherapy recommendations for optimizing management and outcomes for COPD patients*.
You can access the course at: Pharmacotherapy in Patients with COPD – 2019 Update of Evidence
