Nationally and internationally recognized faculty will provide an overview of a wide variety of topics within the field of interventional pulmonology for physicians intending to take the Board Examination later this year and for those simply seeking to expand their knowledge in interventional pulmonology. This will be a wonderful opportunity to interact with current interventional fellows, expert faculty and practicing physicians.
This year’s format will use a clinical case-based approach to cover contemporary issues within Interventional Pulmonology.
