In this episode, we sit down with David Arnold and Thisarana Wijayaratne, two pleural fellows – one research (now a newly appointed consultant) and one clinical, to hear their first-hand experiences of fellowship training. They share what drew them to the field, how to go about applying for fellowships, and what day-to-day life as a fellow looks like.
Whether you’re a trainee considering applying, a clinician curious about fellowship pathways, or someone interested in the future of pleural practice and research, this conversation offers practical insights and honest reflections from those who have lived the experience.
