Pulmonology Fellowship

Curriculum

The first year is comprised of broadly based clinical training followed by two years primarily devoted to research training. Each fellow’s continuity clinic developed in year one, is extended on a limited basis to years two and three providing extensive exposure to pulmonary diseases, testing/interpretation and diagnosis. Throughout all three years fellows are required to attend, participate in, and present various clinical, physiology, and research conferences and seminars. Emphasis is continually placed on the critical and inquisitive interpretation of all written and spoken scientific information. Much effort is devoted to assisting fellows in developing clear and concise teaching and writing skills.

Ongoing Evaluations of Fellows

Upon arrival in the fellowship, the goals and expectations for the fellowship are reviewed with the Program Director.  In addition to frequent informal interactions, the fellow and the Program Director meet semiannually to review progress, obstacles, and plans.  In the second year, plans are developed with the fellow for his or her job search strategy.
