The Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Program at our hospital has a history of training numerous successful pediatric pulmonologists who now practice around the country. Many of these individuals are recognized as outstanding leaders, both locally and nationally. Our faculty is committed to providing outstanding fellowship candidates exceptional educational experiences. During the three-year fellowship, there are both clinical and research experiences that generate the knowledge, skill and technical expertise necessary to become an excellent academic pediatric pulmonologist. We foster a collaborative environment in all aspects of clinical care and research. Ultimately, our goal is to have the fellowship candidate become a leader in academic medicine and enhance the health of patients with pediatric lung disease through educational, clinical and investigational activities. Pulmonary and critical care physicians at our hospital provide medical care for patients in our intensive care units. They also diagnose and treat disorders affecting lungs and breathing.
Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Training
Our Fellowship Training Program provides approximately 14 months of clinical training out of three years, and 19 months of research training. Clinical training is concentrated in the first year (nine months), with decreasing time in the second and third years. This schedule provides increasing time for research as the fellowship progresses.
