This course was aimed at pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons who wanted to train in diagnostic and therapeutic interventional pulmonology. As a rule, one third of the course was devoted to hands-on workshops and two thirds to the theoretical aspects of bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy. Each course was tutored by four to six internationally recognised experts.
