Cardiorespiratory Medicine 2011

<< DE Information

This course aims to expand your knowledge of cardiology and respiratory disease. These two areas are so closely linked that it is natural to study them jointly. Participants will first build a sound platform of clinical and diagnostic skills, and will then apply these to a full range of real clinical problems, from nasal and upper respiratory through to cardiac, pulmonary, pleural and mediastinal.  

Tutor
