Our mission at Bronchoscopy International has always been and still is to provide practitioners and trainees around the world with free, easily accessible tools that will enhance their ability to care for their patients competently. Our slide decks have been used by teachers and learners for more than twenty years, and materials from The Essential Bronchoscopist series of training manuals are used in educational programs around the world, as well as by individual practitioners as study guides. Our Checklists and assessment tools have helped change the paradigm of procedure-related training, successfully complementing the traditional apprentice-style mode of professional development and facilitating competency-oriented training for new procedures. I am proud to say that our study guides were the first ever provided freely to bronchoscopists and interventional pulmonologists around the world, and our teaching videos, many created long before the video teaching boom, have had almost two million views.
With the new and improved BronchAtlas, our goal is to bring bronchoscopy-related learning to the bedside using an easily accessible and practical telephone-based learning instrument. This modality is a vital tool that requires minimal technology and works around varying levels of infrastructure. It is one more step in the direction of democratization of knowledge, an essential step toward greater professional development and improving patient outcomes.
With BronchAtlas (connect to www.bronchatlas.com), health care providers, students, as well as patients can easily access information pertaining to bronchoscopy in special situations. Each “topic” is covered by a series of bullet points organized into FOUR easily read components: addressing the problem at hand, providing the solution, listing a set of references, and providing links to an instructive YouTube-based video from our Bronchoscopy Academy YouTube channel. It takes less than three minutes to view each topic, making this tool ideal as a refresher or handy problem-solver.
We hope you will enjoy using BronchAtlas, and we encourage you to pass the link to the BronchAtlas website along to your friends and colleagues. More “modules” are coming, so please let us know which other topics you would like to see addressed. Also, if you would like to assist with authorship or as a video contributor, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
