2021 Current Paradigms in Interventional Pulmonology | Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy: A Team Approach

Friday, October 1, 2021, 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM

With the introduction of robotic assisted bronchoscopy, we are on the verge of a major advancement in the role of bronchoscopy for accessing peripheral pulmonary lesions for diagnosis and therapy. Optimally performing these procedures, in appropriate patients, is paramount, and requires proper training of the entire team involved.

This well-received annual CME course reviews these crucial advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and how to optimize performance in a multidisciplinary team-oriented fashion. This year's live virtual course will feature expert faculty presenting live didactic lectures in a session format with panel Q&A. Additionally, we are excited to offer learners pre-recorded bronchoscopy videos.

2021 Program Topics

• History of Guided Bronchoscopy
• Robotic bronchoscopy introduction, planning, evidence, and imaging modality
• Introducing New Technology Into Your Practice
