Full Article:
The 2025 PANCE blueprint sharpens its focus on clinical integration across pulmonary disorders. Mastering this category means understanding not only the diseases but the diagnostic and management logic that drives every stem.

1. Asthma & COPD Take Center Stage
   Expect heavier weighting on stepwise therapy, spirometry interpretation, and guideline-based management. Know your rescue vs. controller medications cold.

2. Pulmonary Embolism Gets Clinical
   Stems now prioritize recognition of risk patterns (OCPs, immobility) and diagnostic algorithms (Wells, D-dimer, CTA).

3. Lung Cancer: Screening & Red Flags
   Know the USPSTF 2025 low-dose CT guidelines and when not to screen.

4. Sleep Apnea & Occupational Health
   The blueprint’s subtle inclusion of OSA and pulmonary exposure disease highlights exam integration with real-world practice.

Takeaway:
Pulmonary mastery means translating physiology into pattern recognition. The 2025 Blueprint rewards clinicians who think across diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention — exactly the BEYOND way.
