[Recommendations for training courses in bronchoscopy - update 2024]

Bronchoscopy courses should be an integral part of bronchoscopy training. Course graduates should be familiar with the indications, prerequisites and technical possibilities of bronchoscopy. In addition to theoretical content, practical bronchoscopic skills are taught and trained in small supervised groups using various methods of simulation-based bronchoscopy training. The course content is based on the current guidelines and recommendations of the DGP as well as the applicable national directives and KRINKO recommendations. The standardization of central course elements serves to ensure quality assurance across the board, whilst explicitly supporting local site-specific focuses and preferences.
