The Provider Education Program has developed a program on Spirometry for health care providers. The learning objectives for this spirometry program are:

 To understand the role of spirometry as an objective measurement of lung disease.

 To review spirometry testing, terms and measurements.

 To understand the criteria for best test acceptability/repeatability.

 To gain confidence in the interpretation of spirometry.

This is a two and half hour program comprised of two presentations, one on "Spirometry Ins & Out's", which includes a demonstration on how to do spirometry, and one on "Spirometry Interpretation" delivered by specialists. Following the presentations is a discussion period during which spirometry test results will be discussed. The participants have the benefit of gaining knowledge from a specialist in the field and the opportunity to actively work through interpreting test results.
This program meets the accreditation criteria of the College of Family Physicians of Canada and has been accredited for 2 MAINPRO-C credits.
