The purpose of the Eastern Pulmonary Conference (EPC) is to plan and organize CME meetings on clinical topics in Pulmonary Medicine. EPC blends the interactivity characteristic of small regional conferences together with the cutting edge science characteristic of large national meetings. The educational goal is to share clinically relevant information which improves the diagnostic accuracy and the effectiveness of treatments with practitioners who treat pulmonary diseases. Physicians, PA's, and NP's are invited to attend.
