What is Pulmonology?

Pulmonology is the medical specialty concerned with diseases of the lungs. Pulmonologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with lung diseases.

The word "pulmonology" comes from the Greek word for "lungs." Pulmonary medicine includes all clinical disciplines related to the study and treatment of diseases of the lungs.
