Special Features
The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Cape Fear Valley health offers a unique training experience that provides high acuity clinical exposure in a growing academic environment. Felows train in a large community based tertiary referral center sending a diverse patient population from South Eastern North Carolina, including urban, rural and underserved communities. Distinctive features include a dedicated ICU consult service, high fidelity simulation training, multidisciplinary conferences, and opportunities for leadership and quality improvement. As a newer fellowship program, fellows benefit from close faculty mentorship, significant procedural volume, and opportunity to help shape and enhance the training program.
