Clinical responsibilities include the evaluation and longitudinal management of patients with general pulmonary disorders, asthma, chronic lung disease, occupational lung diseases, environmental exposures, and other respiratory conditions. Primary responsibilities include obtaining comprehensive medical histories, performing physical examinations, developing differential diagnoses, formulating diagnostic evaluations, and implementing evidence-based treatment plans. The APP will provide patient education, coordinate multidisciplinary care, communicate recommendations to referring providers, and participate in ongoing disease management.
