چکیده
In Greece, respiratory medicine is a stand-alone specialty requiring a 5-year training programme.

The majority of the tertiary hospitals include respiratory wards and also train registrars. Although there is heterogeneity between different hospitals, our article highlights the training of respiratory physicians in the majority of respiratory departments in the country.
