Diagnostic Bronchoscopy 101: Mastering Essential Bronchoscopy and Endobronchial Ultrasound Skills 2026

Diagnostic Bronchoscopy 101: Mastering Essential Bronchoscopy and Endobronchial Ultrasound Skills 2026 is organized by American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and will be held from Sep 10 - 12, 2026 at CHEST Innovation, Simulation, and Training Center, Glenview, Illinois, United States of America.

Description:
Endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the recommended first step for lung cancer staging. In this course, you’ll refine your skills in critical flexible bronchoscopy with a focus on EBUS-TBNA. Bronchoscopy experts will teach you essential skills for evaluating patients with suspected lung cancer.?This course is recommended for pulmonary and critical care fellows and practicing pulmonologists who are growing their lung cancer practice and are looking to gain foundational skills in EBUS.

What you'll learn

• Execution of flexible bronchoscopy with brushings and endobronchial biopsy
• EBUS-TBNA procedures for lung cancer staging
• Placement of endobronchial blockers for airway bleeding
• Flexible bronchoscopic techniques for removing aspirated foreign objects
• How to handle and process EBUS-TBNA specimens
• Use of radial probe EBUS for localizing peripheral pulmonary nodules
