Curriculum
Our Pulmonology Fellowship offers a comprehensive, hands-on training experience designed to prepare future leaders in pediatric pulmonary medicine. Fellows engage in a dynamic curriculum that integrates advanced clinical care, procedural training and multidisciplinary collaboration.
Training Curriculum
Fellows receive approximately 12 months of inpatient clinical training during the three-year program. The first year emphasizes clinical training, with a greater focus on research the second and third years.
During the first year of the fellowship, fellows will divide their time between advanced clinical responsibilities, research, and pre-attending experiences, completing the following training components:
- Research: 16-20 weeks
- Inpatient: 10-12 weeks
- Consult: 10-12 weeks
- Continuity Clinics: 22-24
- Subspecialty Clinics: 16
