Interventional pulmonology training in the USA and Europe has common roots and similar concepts; however, there are variations in its delivery. We discuss the similarities, differences, challenges and goals of interventional pulmonology training in both continents. Collaboration and exchange of experiences between the USA and Europe are fundamental to entering the new era of competency/mastery training to implement a multidimensional approach to procedure-related education.While interventional pulmonology is a single specialty, the approach to training varies according to location (Europe and USA). While European and US interventional pulmonology training share similar goals, their pathways and challenges are different. https://bit.ly/34jTyMH
