Nowadays, pulmonary diseases cause high rates of morbidity and mortality and have a great economic impact, not only because of their high costs in medical attention, but also due to the loss of the patient's functionality. Pulmonary rehabilitation, therefore, is key in improving pulmonary function, relieving symptoms, and providing a comprehensive approach that includes physical exercises, education, and psychological support, in order to reduce patient dependency. Pulmonary Rehabilitation is aimed at healthcare professionals who are part of Respiratory Rehabilitation Units, such as pulmonologists, rehabilitation physicians, family doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nurses. It is especially targeted towards those who work with patients with chronic respiratory diseases and wish to train in their management through rehabilitation programs adapted to the individual needs of each patient.
