Special Announcement: Interventional Pulmonology Match

摘要

The Editors of the Journal of Bronchoscopy & Interventional Pulmonology are thrilled to report that the first interventional pulmonology (IP) match through the National Residency Match Program (NRMP) was a fantastic success. There were a total of 56 applications this year for dedicated 1-year advanced training fellowships in IP programs throughout the United States. Twenty-four applicants (43%) were interviewed and registered for the match. Fourteen IP fellowships participated in the match this year, and all 14 filled their spots, making IP the only program in the NRMP that filled 100% of the offered spots in the match this year. In all, 38% of applicants who registered for the match did not match with an IP fellowship.
