Lung Sounds Courses

Learn breath sounds. Our free courses cover basic and intermediate levels of these sounds. The basic course focuses on common vesicular, bronchial breath sounds and crackles and wheezes. The intermediate course covers advanced forms of wheezes and crackles and introduces voiced sounds (bronchophony, egophony, whispered pectoriloquy).

Auscultation Repetition Training

For some learners, auscultation repetition training is a useful complement to our courses. The repetition training modules include audio and a dynamic lung sound waveform for helping users learn each breath sound.

Pulmonary Problem Solving

We provide two courses, each with eight cases in pulmonary problem solving that integrate clinical skills training with respiratory care. These cases require knowledge, reasoning and patient assessment skills.
