In addition to exceptional clinical care and education, the members of the Interventional Pulmonology program are dedicated to the growth of the field. Research is a significant part of the advancement of the discipline. Research studies examining the clinical indications and patient outcomes of interventional procedures are important, especially as new medical devices are frequently introduced to the market. The program consistently presents original research at national and international meetings for the American College of Chest Physicians, American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology, Association of Interventional Pulmonology Program Directors, and the American Thoracic Society.
Emory University offers a one-year fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology. The Interventional Pulmonary fellow is expected to be knowledgeable in all on-going IP-related research studies and to contribute where necessary. Through this experience, the fellow will gain valuable experience in designing and performing literature review prior to IRB submission, conducting clinical research and analyzing research data. The fellow is also expected to produce and present at least one IP-related research study at a national conference or for publication.
