Though some subjects are clear favorites, it is nearly impossible to select a single answer to the question, “What was the biggest story in pulmonology this year?” 

Since the American Lung Association (ALA) and HCPLive launched Lungcast in the summer of 2020, the field of respiratory health has evolved in unprecedented fashion. One doesn’t have to look further than the show’s episode library to appreciate the great shifts in the field—brought on by a global pandemic, numerous public health phenomena, and practice-changing innovations in screening, diagnostics, prevention and therapy. From vaccination to late-stage lung cancer care, the world of respiratory health is irrevocably changed from just a short span of 4 years.

To reflect on this year’s spectacular headlines in the field, HCPLive presents the annual recap episode in conjunction with This Year In Medicine, where the Lungcast team reflects on their favorite interview segments of 2023.
