The Gustav Killian Centenary Medal
The Gustav Killian Centenary Medal was originally designed in 1997 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the first bronchoscopy performed by Gustav Killian, German laryngologist and noted founder of bronchology. The Killian Medal recognizes accomplished senior bronchologists whose career achievements and clinical practices have made a significant impact on the art and science of bronchology. The Killian Medal is awarded only if a nominated candidate is deemed deserving of the medal, in which case the medal is awarded at the biennial World Congress for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WCBIP).Read More

In 2013, it was adopted by the WABIP and renamed the WABIP-Dumon award to recognize those individuals who have generously devoted their careers to enhancing others’ technical skills in rigid bronchoscopy and improving knowledge and understanding of central airway obstruction. The WABIP-Dumon award is given at the biennial World Congress for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (WCBIP).Read More
