Résumé
Entry into the interventional pulmonary (IP) fellowship requires prerequisite training in pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellowship in the United States. IP fellowship has become standardized, but the prerequisite training may be quite variable depending on the learner's exposure to IP during their PCCM fellowship. A survey study was conducted to identify potential foundational knowledge and/or skills gaps of new fellows entering IP fellowships. This may help both PCCM and IP fellowship directors to identify common knowledge gaps within PCCM training specific to IP. Based on components of the ACGME's common program requirements for PCCM fellowships, a survey was developed and categorized into 5 domains: nonprocedural skills, didactic knowledge, diagnostic bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and airway/percutaneous procedures. The survey was then sent to 42 IP fellowship directors after the content validity review and approval by the Association of Interventional Pulmonary Program Directors. The survey response rate was 88.1% (37/42). The overall mean scores in all 5 domains were perceived as below competent (<3). The highest mean domain was nonprocedural skills, and the lowest was airway/percutaneous procedures. Within the domains, there were 4/ 30 topics that were considered competent with a score of ≥3 as competent or higher; bronchoscopy lavage (mean: 3.5/5, SD: 0.87), interpersonal skills (mean: 3.03/5, SD: 0.76), thoracentesis (mean: 3.14/5, SD: 0.89), and ultrasound for pleural effusion (mean: 3.19/5, SD: 0.84). There are perceived gaps in PCCM training pertaining to IP fellowship readiness.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Entry into the interventional pulmonary (IP) fellowship requires prerequisite training in pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellowship in the United States. IP fellowship has become standardized, but the prerequisite training may be quite variable depending on the learner's exposure to IP during their PCCM fellowship. A survey study was conducted to identify potential foundational knowledge and/or skills gaps of new fellows entering IP fellowships. This may help both PCCM and IP fellowship directors to identify common knowledge gaps within PCCM training specific to IP.
METHODS
METHODS
Based on components of the ACGME's common program requirements for PCCM fellowships, a survey was developed and categorized into 5 domains: nonprocedural skills, didactic knowledge, diagnostic bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and airway/percutaneous procedures. The survey was then sent to 42 IP fellowship directors after the content validity review and approval by the Association of Interventional Pulmonary Program Directors.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The survey response rate was 88.1% (37/42). The overall mean scores in all 5 domains were perceived as below competent (<3). The highest mean domain was nonprocedural skills, and the lowest was airway/percutaneous procedures. Within the domains, there were 4/ 30 topics that were considered competent with a score of ≥3 as competent or higher; bronchoscopy lavage (mean: 3.5/5, SD: 0.87), interpersonal skills (mean: 3.03/5, SD: 0.76), thoracentesis (mean: 3.14/5, SD: 0.89), and ultrasound for pleural effusion (mean: 3.19/5, SD: 0.84).
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
There are perceived gaps in PCCM training pertaining to IP fellowship readiness.
