The AABIP EBM Learning Curriculum offers IP fellows a concise, organized, and engaging learning environment to deepen their understanding of Interventional Pulmonology throughout their fellowship year.

How it works

  • Pre-recorded faculty video lectures
  • 1-hour informal case discussion with faculty and other fellows
