Special Features
We prepare physicians to practice the subspecialties of pulmonary disease and critical care medicine competently, independently, and with the highest ethical standards. It is expected that graduating fellows will ultimately achieve board certification in these medicine subspecialties. To this end, the fellowship program director and core faculty have developed a competency-based educational curriculum which strictly adheres to the ACGME program requirements.
