title: Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: pulmonary.
abstract: This article outlines the objectives for a resident rotation in pulmonary diseases. It is part of a continuing series on the goals and objectives to direct Emergency Medicine resident training on off-service rotations. Pulmonary disease accounts for a high percentage of presenting complaints and potentially life-threatening disease in the emergency department. Because of the frequency of respiratory disease in Emergency Medicine, many Emergency Medicine residencies offer individual off-service rotations in Pulmonary Medicine. The objectives of this article are viewed as a one-month component of an Internal Medicine Rotation in the first year of training. These objectives are designed to help focus the resident's reading and study during a pulmonary off-service rotation.
