Special Features
The MCG Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship is dedicated to training master clinicians and clinician educators to serve the state of Georgia. Anchored in a major regional referral center, our fellows manage an expansive array of cases, from common pulmonary disease to the rarest critical illnesses. This volume is matched by exceptional procedural training; fellows gain technical mastery in advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, including EBUS and comprehensive pleural procedures. We balance this clinical rigor with intentional faculty mentorship and a collaborative culture here in Augusta. Ultimately, we prepare our graduates to lead and excel in any environment, whether in elite private practice or academic medicine.
