The curriculum integrates advanced theoretical knowledge with extensive clinical exposure in diagnosing and treating a wide range of respiratory illnesses including chronic and acute pulmonary conditions, infectious lung diseases, sleep‑related breathing disorders, and interventional pulmonology where available. Students learn to interpret respiratory function tests, manage ventilatory support in critical care settings, and implement evidence‑based therapeutic strategies. The program emphasizes both inpatient and outpatient care, multidisciplinary collaboration, and research methodologies relevant to respiratory medicine.
