University of Calgary Pulmonary Procedures Simulation Program

Annual Introduction to Bronchoscopy Course and Procedural Bootcamp      

Introduction to bronchoscopy, EBUS and pulmonary procedures through didactic lectures and hands on simulation

Ongoing Pulmonary Procedures Simulation Program 

U of C pulmonary residents sign up for bronchoscopy simulation sessions at the beginning of their training

U of C pulmonary residents participate in ongoing bronchoscopy and pulmonary procedural simulation training throughout the year

Rigid Bronchoscopy Simulation for IPM Fellow

20 hours/each (July/August) of rigid bronchoscopy training on various simulation models. Simulation models use working jet ventilator and identical rigid and flexible bronchoscopy equipment used in humans. Practice with multiple advanced techniques including APC, silicone and metal stent insertion, foreign body removal and many more.
