Goals and objectives

Our program aims to produce excellent clinicians and clinician educators who provide outstanding care to adult patients with chronic pulmonary disease as well as critical illness.  We provide excellent training through broad exposure to a spectrum of complex diseases through experiences in Interstitial Lung Diseases, Lung Transplant, Pulmonary Hypertension, Interventional Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine as well as in our high volume intensive care units. We aim to prepare our fellows to be leaders as clinicians, educators, ICU directors and service chiefs through leadership development, and by providing opportunities for gaining skills in high quality and safe care delivery.
