Year 1 Clinical Fellow (F1)

In the F1 year, our trainees rotate on pulmonary consults, physiology, interventional pulmonary and in medical and non-medical intensive care units. Additionally, fellows have a weekly general pulmonary clinic, which continues through the third year. Fellows complete our Core Curriculum and are introduced to our Academic Pathways as well as potential mentors and projects.

Year 2 Clinical Fellow (F2)

The F2 year builds on the foundation of the F1 year, with a focus on increased autonomy in the ICU, exposure to lung transplantation and other pulmonary sub-specialties, airway training and selective rotations in non-medical intensive care units. Individualized academic training plans are finalized for each trainee.

Year 3 Research Fellow (F3)

Fellows have protected academic time to complete their training plans and career development sessions. Elective time is available for those interested in further sub-specialty training.

Year 4 Research Fellow (F4)

A fourth year of fellowship is optional and available to trainees pursuing training in basic, clinical or translational research on the Investigation Pathway. Trainees making substantial progress toward independent funding may be offered further protected time for research as junior faculty for an additional two years.
