These courses are aimed at pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons who want to train in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology. As a rule, two-thirds of the courses are devoted to "hands-on" workshops and one-third to the theoretical aspects of bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy. The participants will have the opportunity to practice live bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy (using pigs and sheep). The operating rooms are equipped with full video equipment. Each course is tutored by 4-6 internationally recognised experts.

The working language will be English.

Detailed programmes can be found at the bottom of each registration form.
