They also perform pulmonary function tests and collaborate closely with pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and other healthcare team members to ensure comprehensive care. Additionally, they may facilitate support groups, lead smoking cessation programs, and monitor patients’ progress to prevent exacerbations and hospital readmissions. This role requires a strong patient focus and adaptability, as each patient’s needs and treatment journey can be unique.
