Since its founding in 1992, the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology has been a unifying source for information regarding the fields of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology. Over the last few years, we have achieved significant milestones, including having the Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology become indexed on Index Medicus, having IP Fellowship programs become part of the National Residency Match Program, running twice-yearly scientific symposium and developing and implementing the first Board Certification Exam in Interventional Pulmonology.

We actively seek input from our general membership, and would be happy to hear from anyone who would like to contribute to our organization. Membership in the AABIP is not just for physicians. We have a very enthusiastic Affiliate’s Forum made up of nurses, respiratory therapists, and technicians involved in pulmonary interventional procedures. We also offer reduced rate membership for fellows and residents. Please encourage your support staff and fellows to become involved! When you join the AABIP, you will become a society-based member of the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WABIP). OUR JOURNAL The Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology is the official journal of the AABIP. Dr. Udaya B.S. Prakash was the founder, first Editor in Chief of the JOB and the founding president of the AAB. In 2009, the Journal changed names to the Journal of Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology in order to more fully encompass our broadening field. Ali Musani is the current Editor in Chief. With the efforts of the associate editors, and reviewers, the Journal has witnessed significant expansion in the number and quality of submitted original investigations. We encourage you to support the Journal and the field of Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology by submitting your relevant research. Submission guidelines can be found at: www.bronchology.com.
