The Western States Pediatric Pulmonary Case Conference (WSPPCC) is a web-based case conference involving Pediatric Pulmonary programs in the western region. 

Hosted by UC San Diego’s Pediatric Pulmonary Division  in collaboration with the Pediatric Pulmonary Center at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, the conference aims to help develop our academic community, foster collaboration, and contribute to education and patient care.

Programs take turns selecting cases that involve children faced with respiratory disease, and then present these cases to the rest of the group.  Cases are generally presented by a fellow, and expert speakers are encouraged to review and give perspective.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Dr. Dan Lesser at dlesser@ucsd.edu.
