How Your Donations Make an Impact

Spotlight on AABIP Diversity, Inclusion and Unity Committee 

In 2024 you will see the first Inaugural education/ travel grant for the AABIP annual conference as well as our Inaugural Sponsorship program that will open up new opportunities for physician and non-physician members to apply for specific working groups with one on one sponsorship that lead to pathways to committee leadership. Stay tuned for upcoming requests for applications in the coming weeks! 

Member donations specific to the DIU will help us provide more support for DIU initiatives and we hope you will give toward these groundbreaking efforts.



Carla Lamb, MD
Chair, AABIP Diversity, Inclusion and Unity Committee

"Since the inception of the AABIP DIU committee in 2022, our mission statement embodies our commitment to an organizational culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and unity. We embrace equal opportunity for members to participate and encourage applications for working groups, committees and leadership positions from all genders, ethnicities, races, and nationalities of our non-physician and physician AABIP members in good standing . We have a vision that the guiding values of diversity, equity and inclusion will help shape AABIP policies and procedures to support our members.  By promoting and creating equity, dignity, and respect amongst advanced bronchoscopy and interventional practitioners alongside our non-physician members we aim to be able to work together towards better health outcomes for all patients regardless of gender, ethnicity, race or nationality.
Our ongoing efforts are to put into action meaningful ways to create a stronger community of belonging and carve out new opportunities to offer our members to become even more engaged in our organization."

George Cheng, MD
AABIP Research Committee Chair and DIU Committee Member
"The American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP) Diversity Inclusion and Unity Committee is a vital force in advancing the fields of bronchology and interventional pulmonology. Through its dedicated efforts the committee not only fosters a culture of inclusivity within the AABIP but also ensures that these values extend into patient care and research. The committee's work is crucial in promoting diversity within the workforce thereby enriching perspectives and approaches in the field. Its focus on inclusivity also helps in addressing health disparities ensuring that patient care is equitable and sensitive to the diverse needs of different communities. The impact of the committee's work resonates beyond the immediate professional community as it sets an exemplary standard for how diversity and inclusion can drive excellence and innovation in specialized medical fields."
