PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This activity is designed to inform participants about the contributions of occupational exposures to work-related COPD to improve its identification and management.

OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the session, the participant should be able to:

  1. Describe the clinical challenges in diagnosing work-related COPD.
  2. Describe the management of work-related COPD.
  3. Describe the differences between COPD cases attributed to occupational exposures and those attributed to cigarette smoking.
  4. Describe epidemiologic evidence for the contribution of occupational exposures to work-related COPD.
  5. Describe evidence for the course of work-related COPD in individuals.
  6. Discuss conducting research on work-related COPD.
  7. Describe the importance of interprofessional collaboration in addressing work-related COPD.
