Specialty Overview
Interventional pulmonology is devoted to the evaluation and management of thoracic diseases primarily involving the airways, lung parenchyma, and pleural space, with a focus on minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedural skills beyond the scope of what is learned in a pulmonary disease or pulmonary disease and critical care medicine program. Interventional pulmonology fellowships provide advanced training to allow a fellow to acquire competence with sufficient expertise to act as an independent consultant and expert practitioner of complex and advanced interventional procedures.
