| WE ARE A TRANSNATIONAL GROUP OF MEDICAL EDUCATORS Bronchoscopy International Foundation for the Advancement of Medicine promotes global health through medical education. Our organizing principles are the democratization of knowledge (free and open access to most learning materials), and that doctors should not learn by using patients when alternatives such as models, new technologies, and modern teaching methods are available. Our goal is to eliminate patient suffering caused by inadequately trained doctors. WHAT WE DO Our experts conduct training programs around the world in order to assure equal access to knowledge and technical skill regardless of where chest physicians practice. OUR MISSION In order to eliminate patient suffering caused by unequal levels of physician expertise and variations in training within and across medical institutions, – we design and distribute free learning materials that help doctors become better teachers and patient-care providers. – we help educators implement a multidimensional learner-centric program that respects cultural differences and diverse practice patterns. – we train international groups of instructors how to use simulation settings, models, role-playing exercises, checklists, competency-based assessment tools, problem-based learning, step-by-step teaching techniques, interactive-style lectures, social media, and various leadership styles. Competency-based training is our philosophy  Henri Colt MD, FCCP, FAWM, Emeritus Professor, University of California, Past-chair, WABIP
