Respiratory disease is prevalent in society and the impact is far reaching, affecting individuals, communities, healthcare systems on a local through to global scale. Respiratory conditions and emergencies span across all age groups and can present as both acute and chronic. As such, Health Care Practitioners are required to possess a sound understanding of respiratory disease epidemiology, pathophysiology, along with the skills necessary to assess and manage a wide range of respiratory conditions and emergencies.

This course will develop students' ability to acquire and critically appraise evidence to apply the findings to healthcare practice. This course utilises practice-based learning pedagogy with a focus on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic management of patients with respiratory conditions and emergencies. All learning opportunities, including online discussion, peer learning activities and assessments are designed to develop students' diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills to risk stratify triage patients safely and justify alternate treatment pathways if appropriate. This course aims to equip students with the clinical reasoning, problem solving and clinical judgements skills to determine the most appropriate evidence-based treatment options to deliver safe and effective care to patients with respiratory conditions or emergencies.
