A Multicenter Study Assessing Interventional Pulmonary Fellow Competency in Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current medical society guidelines recommend a procedural number for obtaining electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) competency and for institutional volume for training.

Objective

To assess learning curves and estimate the number of ENB procedures for interventional pulmonology (IP) fellows to reach competency.

Methods

We conducted a prospective multicenter study of IP fellows in the United States learning ENB.
