Our program prepares physicians to practice the subspecialties of pulmonary medicine and critical care medicine in complex environments with competency, professionalism and the highest ethical standards. Graduating fellows are expected to achieve dual board certification in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
Training is designed to teach fellows how to increase knowledge and comprehension across a broad array of pulmonary medicine topics, apply accumulated knowledge to the bedside care of patients and evaluate subsequent clinical outcomes in a manner that provides for effective pulmonary consultation services, and demonstrate competency in technical and procedural skills for procedures routinely provided by pulmonary consultants.
Fellows have access to advanced technology and services, including:
- Bronchoscopy suite, including appropriate space and staffing for pulmonary procedures
- Computed tomography (CT) imaging, including CT angiography
- Coronary care unit
- Radiology services (bedside imaging services available to all patients in the critical care units)
- Pulmonary function testing laboratory
- Respiratory care services
- Dedicated pulmonary outpatient clinic
- Dedicated advanced lung disease clinic
- Dedicated COPD/asthma clinic
We also utilize the Seeger Surgical Simulation Center, which is equipped with SimMan 3G technology as well as bronchoscopy and EBUS simulators.
