Educational Objectives

The PHA Preceptorship Program is designed to instruct front-line clinicians in the highest quality of care for patients with PAH. At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Define key pathophysiologic and epidemiologic components of PAH
  
• Accurately diagnose patients through comprehensive screening and early recognition of symptoms
• Evaluate the patient’s condition and prescribe optimal long-term management, including knowing when and how to treat and when to consult with colleagues at an established PAH center
• Tailor comprehensive care for complex patient populations 

The combination of didactic discourse and highly interactive case-based discussions will provide those attending with:

• Concise, clinically relevant information
• New or refined skills that will improve patient care
• Up-to-date referral resources and strengthened relationships with the nearest established PAH center
• Better awareness of and access to clinical trials that might be of benefit to their patients.
