WHY BECOME A MEMBER?

Membership in the AABIP is open to physicians and non-physicians interested in the science, techniques, and clinical applications of pulmonary and pleural procedures. AABIP provides numerous opportunities to learn, teach and help develop a vast number of procedural techniques in order to determine their appropriate applications in chest medicine. These include, but are not limited to bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, diagnostic and therapeutic laser therapy, stent insertion, cryotherapy, electrocoagulation, brachytherapy, angioscopy, tracheostomy, transtracheal oxygen, and endoscopic ultrasonography. AABIP members also have the opportunity to interact with a national and international network of peers with whom they can exchange ideas, as well as share specific issues and problems in a collaborative relationship that will benefit patients with lung cancer, tracheobronchial disease, and pleural processes.
