One doesn’t have to look further than the show’s episode library to appreciate the great shifts in the field—brought on by a global pandemic, numerous public health phenomena, and practice-changing innovations in screening, diagnostics, prevention and therapy. From vaccination to late-stage lung cancer care, the world of respiratory health is irrevocably changed from just a short span of 4 years.To reflect on this year’s spectacular headlines in the field, HCPLive presents the annual recap episode in conjunction with This Year In Medicine, where the Lungcast team reflects on their favorite interview segments of 2023.Subscribe to Lungcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LungcastWant more content?
