DESCRIPTION:This one day course is ideal for all health professionals who d
 esire a comprehensive course designed specifically for interpretation of s
 pirometry tests. Several interpretative strategies will be discussed inclu
 ding those consistent with the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and Europea
 n Respiratory Society (ERS). The strengths\, weaknesses\, pitfalls\, and l
 imitations of other strategies (GOLD\, NICE\, etc.) will also be discussed
  and compared. This class will distinguish spirometry parameters that are 
 useful and not useful for interpretation. Practical tips for categorizing 
 the severity of reduced lung function will be explored. Practice problems 
 will be used to help the student recognize acceptable from unacceptable tr
 ials and when unacceptable maneuvers still have usable information. Exampl
 es of poorly administered and improperly performed tests will be presented
  to help students recognize poor subject effort\, unacceptable maneuvers\,
  limitations of equipment\, which parameters provide useful information\, 
 and other factors that alter the interpretation algorithm. Students will a
 lso learn how to recognize the magnitude and direction of error introduced
  when less than ideal results are obtained.Course information and registra
