Bronchoscopy International | Global health through medical education

WE ARE A TRANSNATIONAL GROUP OF MEDICAL EDUCATORS

OUR MISSION is to eliminate human suffering caused by variations in training or poor access to learning resources within and across medical institutions and geographic regions.

WE BELIEVE in the democratization of knowledge and that patients should not bear the burden of medical training. Our training programs and educational resources are provided free of charge.

WHAT WE DO
We train chest physicians around the world, and we are particularly committed to helping patients and health care professionals in less developed countries. Our Certified and Master instructors have a lifetime of teaching experience.
– We design learning resources including books, videos, lectures, simulation models, checklists, and asssessment tools.
– We deliver competency-based training programs that are learner-centric and multidimensional. These programs respect cultural differences and the specific needs of a particular medical environment.
– We teach medical educators how to implement a competency-based learning curriculum using resources such as checklists, assessment tools, role-playing exercises, simulation/models, case-based discussions, step-by-step instruction, and interactive lectures in their hospitals and universities.

OUR GOAL is to improve patient care around the world. By encouraging medical educators to adopt a more uniform approach to teaching, we can make chest procedures more accessible to all.

Bronchoscopy International is the education arm of the Foundation for the Advancement of Medicine.

This is an era for a new professionalism
