Interventional pulmonology (IP) is a rapidly-developing, procedural-oriented subspecialty of pulmonary medicine. At UCSD, our IP Fellowship Program is run by Program Director Keriann Van Nostrand, MD and Associate Program Director George Cheng, MD PhD. We have a one-year IP fellowship that has been designed to develop and train interventional pulmonologists in complex diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, as well as advanced minimally invasive pleural procedures. We are pleased to announce that our Interventional Pulmonology program is now accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to meeting the highest standards for graduate medical education and providing exceptional training for future leaders in interventional pulmonology.
