Bridging The Gap (BTG) 40 Hour Practice Exam

Treating breathing and lung problems is the work of a pulmonologist. A pulmonologist specializes in the lungs and airways, diagnosing and managing conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and other respiratory disorders, and they use tests like spirometry to assess how well the lungs are working. In contrast, a cardiologist focuses on the heart and blood vessels, a dermatologist on the skin, and a urologist on the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. So the specialist best suited for respiratory diseases is the pulmonologist.
