Case of the Month

The Case of the Month is an opportunity for learning and discussion, based on clinical cases from member contributors around Australia and New Zealand.
Originally, the Case of the Month was conceived as an opportunity for clinicians and scientists to work together to provide some clinical context to the work that clinical respiratory scientists do. Often, the case would be presented as lung function data with some clinical background initially and a month later, a clinical perspective would be posted to put the physiology into clinical context and to provide some insight into ongoing management. Much of the initial work in getting the concept up and running was due to the work of Christine Nathan (WA).

While the style of the presentation has changed somewhat over time, the Case of the Month series continues to provide important opportunities for learning for the membership.

Contributions for Case of the Month come from the regions as per the roster below. The Regional Chair is responsible for assigning a laboratory to provide the case for their rostered month and sending the case to the webmasters for posting.
