Proposal: ABIM Certification in Interventional Pulmonology

The ABIM Pulmonary Disease Board is formally considering the recognition of interventional pulmonology as a subspecialty of pulmonary disease with its own distinct certificate.

We are proud to invite your input on this proposal to guide our considerations along with feedback from the broader stakeholder community.

Read more details, including the background and next steps in this process, on the ABIM Blog.

The public comment period will close on May 1, 2025.

Do you think that ABIM should sponsor certification in Interventional Pulmonology (IP), enabling internists certified in Pulmonary Disease and who successfully graduated from an IP fellowship to take an board certification exam in IP?

What impact would you anticipate this new certificate to have on existing physicians practicing pulmonary disease, patients or other stakeholders?
