Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship
The Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine maintains one of the most active and multi-faceted educational programs at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical Center. The goal of the training program is to produce fully trained and competent physicians in the subspecialty of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Our 3 year training program is accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The program offers a structured curriculum encompassing rotations in the medical and surgical intensive care units of the Medical Center, as well as the opportunity to care for inpatients and outpatients under the supervision of the Division's clinical faculty. The program curriculum is based on the requirements of the American Board of Internal Medicine and Residency Review Committee. The curriculum includes formal course work, lectures and seminars as well as supervised clinical training experiences. Fellows have ample opportunity to gain competence in the performance of a high volume of procedures relating to the practice of pulmonary and critical care medicine, as well as in the interpretation of pulmonary function tests.
