Speaker’s Note
• This year’s format will consist of each presenter speaking
on a limited number of articles (bold/underlined in the
following references) to allow for a more in depth
presentation in areas that have been determined to be of
most interest based on the literature review.
• Participants and authors are welcome to join in the
conversation in the time allotted for each article.
• Please note that the following references are up to date as
of December 2015. Articles from January, and February
may be included in the final presentation and may
supersede chosen articles to be discussed at the discretion
of the presenters prior to the presentation.
Objectives
1. Report and interpret new literature
surrounding the examination of or treatment
for cardiovascular and pulmonary health
conditions.
2. Compare their prior knowledge and practice
to ideas and concept in current literature.
3. Discuss with peers the application and
impact these studies may have on current
and future practice.
