What can a dolphin airway teach interventional pulmonologists?

More than we might expect.

At AABIP 2026, Jenny M. Meegan, Kyle Ross, and I will share what human interventional pulmonary and veterinary specialists can learn from one another—from ethics and after-care to operations, sterilization, data sharing, teaching, and innovation.

Join us this Saturday for:
One Medicine, One Airway: Building Human–Veterinary Collaborations in Interventional Pulmonology
Saturday, August 22 | 7:15–7:55 AM | Breakout 1
9th Annual AABIP Conference | Denver, Colorado
Chaired by Kassem Harris and Jorge A. Muñoz Pineda.

If you are curious about what becomes possible when expertise crosses species and disciplines, we would love to see you there.

July 1 marks the start of a new fellowship year.

For incoming interventional pulmonary fellows, the learning curve is steep: procedures, staging, guidelines, landmark studies, board review, and the constant need to keep up with new literature.

I’ve been building interventionalpulm.com as a free educational resource to help make that learning curve a little more organized.

The podcast library now includes 68 journal article episodes, with the majority focused on new studies to help fellows and practicing IPs stay current with the literature. We also just added 15 Landmark Study episodes covering historically important articles every IP fellow should know.

More episodes, both new literature and landmark articles, will be added at least monthly.

The site also includes IP board review content, TNM-9 staging resources, EBUS training, Nav Bronch, and FluoroView. Nav Bronch is designed to help learners move from CT review to a structured bronchoscopic route, practicing airway path selection, anatomic orientation, and approach planning for peripheral lesions. FluoroView complements that by building the CT-to-fluoro mental model: how airway anatomy projects under fluoroscopy, how C-arm angles change what you see, and how to localize lesions during bronchoscopy.

My hope is that interventionalpulm.com becomes a useful starting point for the year ahead: one place to pair the literature with the procedural and cognitive skills that define interventional pulmonology.

What a cluster fuck. Snap dragon only has two gates open for a sold out soccer game. People are waiting hours to get in. This is absolute bullshit.

🚀 Introducing interventionalpulm.com — free, interactive interventional pulmonology education that's actually hands-on, not just another question bank.
We built it to teach the skills that are hard to develop outside the procedure suite. The flagship modules: a Bronch Navigation Trainer and a CT-to-Fluoro simulator for spatial reasoning. Alongside them: EBUS training, IP board review, TNM-9 staging, 3D anatomy, and a Creative Commons image repository you're free to use.
Coming soon: Intro to Bronchoscopy, Pleural Disease, and Rigid Bronchoscopy Foundations.
Built for fellows, faculty, and anyone sharpening their procedural skills. Create a free account and start practicing today.
