Cancer Bronchoscopy Service

In our cancer bronchoscopy rotation, which bolsters your knowledge about the pulmonary complications of cancer, we will train you to work effectively within a cancer institute setting.

Our cancer bronchoscopy rotation takes place during your second and third years of the fellowship. You will rotate with our attending pulmonologist, focusing on interventional bronchoscopy and increasing your experience with cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Through this training, you will:

  • gain familiarity with diagnosing and managing lung cancer and pulmonary complications of other malignancies
