This is a ‘how I do it’ webinar series, where experts in the field of interventional pulmonology will provide a practical step by step guide to the performance of innovative techniques in interventional pulmonology.
Educational aims:
This webinar series will focus very much on the practical aspects of various new technologies and techniques. It will be include illustrative cases, and also tips and tricks.
Target audience:
- Pulmonologists
- Thoracic surgeons
- Trainees
- Fellows in pulmonology/thoracic surgery
Learning outcomes:
Following this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles and practice of both conventional and novel techniques in the field of interventional pulmonology.
- Acquire a clear understanding of the indications, contraindications and intricacies of the performance of all the conventional and cutting-edge procedures covered in the series.
