Participation in the ATS 2025 Resident Boot Camp Adult Track will allow attendees to:
- Acquire knowledge of basic techniques and principles of mechanical ventilation, airway management, and bronchoscopy (indications, techniques, and limitations).
- Attain skills in vascular, thoracic, and pleural ultrasound image acquisition for ultrasound-guided procedures and diagnosis (pneumothorax, thoracentesis, line placement, right ventricular dilation/dysfunction, volume status).
- Improve knowledge base in cardiopulmonary physiology.
- Develop strategies to successfully manage common clinical emergencies encountered as a fellow.
