Integrating novel interventional techniques into pediatric pulmonology training.

To better integrate interventional techniques, I propose that pediatric pulmonology training could benefit from a structured, tiered approach: (1) expanding hands-on workshops and incorporating them into fellowship programs, (2) facilitating collaborations between centers of excellence to allow trainees to rotate through institutions with advanced expertise, and (3) developing an additional year of training for an "Advanced Pediatric Pulmonologist" certification. This approach aims to ensure proficiency in the latest interventional techniques, standardize care, and foster advancements across the field.
