Special Features
The University of Florida PCCM program provides an excellent blend of bedside clinical medicine with academic opportunities. Because of our large referral area and availability of all pulmonary subspecialties fellows are exposed to diverse clinical pathology. We offer internal subspecialty educational tracks for fellows who express early interest in lung transplant and ILD, and are currently working on a similar curriculum for fellows interested in pulmonary hypertension. Additionally, 4th year fellowships are available in lung transplant, interventional pulmonary and sleep medicine. For those interested in a physician-scientist career, we created an additional 1 year scholarship to extend research training and pursue grant opportunities.
