Bronchus 2020
As the field of Interventional pulmonology continues to expand and develop at a rapid pace, this 2-day conference will focus on best practices in Interventional Pulmonology from basics to the most advanced diagnostics and therapeutics. Experts across the globe will discuss on disease specific interventions with case-based approach to learning. Highlights of the conference would be the focused training programme [FTP] on procedural techniques. The first day of the congress is exclusively tailored to impart procedural skills to upcoming Interventional Pulmonologists through the FTP sessions. On the second day experts will discuss the latest evidence-based approaches through didactic sessions.
We are proud to bring you a great synergy of expertise from internationally renowned scientists and pioneers in Interventional Pulmonology through BRONCHUS 2020. The scientific program is targeted to provide tangible benefits and networking opportunities to current pulmonologists; it also provides a tremendous environment for early career members to learn about future prospects and professional development activities.
BRONCHUS 2020 is mentored by a host of distinguished National and International faculty with decades of experience in Interventional Pulmonology.
We Look forward to seeing you
