2020 WCBIP Call for Abstracts Announcement

The World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WABIP) holds a biennial event known as the World Congress for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WCBIP). The first ever WCBIP was held in 1978 in Tokyo, Japan with Dr. Shigeto Ikeda, inventor of the flexible bronchoscope, as congress president. This landmark event was followed by congresses in host sites rotating around the world.
This time WCBIP will be held in Shanghai, China on November 19-22, 2020, and is co-organized by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Thoracic Society.

Target Audience
Physicians and care providers who care for patients with disorders of the larynx, pharynx, esophagus, and lungs. This event is designed to provide education for otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons.
