Through the support of Motivation for Excellence, the Centre has introduced a simulator based Basic Bronchoscopy and a Advanced Bronchoscopy Training Module in their Bronchoscopy Training Programme for all hospital trainees where bronchoscopy and airways training is a mandatory part of the curriculum. The study and advance training in this subject ensures that more safety and comfort can be provided to the patient undergoing the procedure at the hands of the observers and trainees.
