This intensive course allows fellows-in-training to learn new skills and refresh their knowledge through hands-on interaction with experts in bronchoscopy and procedure-related training.

Fellows will acquire essential diagnostic bronchoscopy and pleural technique training in several topics, including:
• Airway anatomy
• Biopsy
• Brushings
• Ultrasound-guided thoracentesis
• Small bore chest tube placement

Attend to experience:
• Cognitive and skills testing on issues essential to conventional bronchoscopy, and pleural procedures. Pre- and post-course cognitive knowledge testing, as well as testing of procedural skills during breakout sessions, offers a personalized, learner-centric approach to teaching.
• Case-based, interactive session to encourage honest, individual responses. Group responses will allow faculty to focus on both group and individual learning needs. Only interactive lectures are used in this course, as they lead to better retention, better knowledge gain, and learner’s satisfaction.

After participating in this educational activity, you should be able to:
• Perform standard bronchoscopy and identify airway anatomy.
• Perform flexible bronchoscopy with brushings and endobronchial biopsy.
