The Impact of COVID-19 on Pulmonary Procedures

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study investigates the changes in practice by pulmonary procedural programs across the United States as they faced the coronavirus pandemic. Information gathered from this study may help guide pulmonary programs on a wider scale and improve their practice. The study may also help researchers understand where they should focus research efforts to better respond to a pandemic in the future.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess how pulmonary medicine programs adapted their procedural practices and techniques, ambulatory operations, and provider staffing in response to the coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. OUTLINE: Participants complete survey over 5-10 minutes.
