Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

Fellows in this pathway receive training in fundamental investigative skills for bench, translational, or clinical research careers. The fellow spends most of their time working on a mentored research project and may pursue an optional fourth year to continue work on promising mentored research projects. Fellows are supported by an NIH-funded T-32 training grant and may have an opportunity to participate in the MS in Patient Oriented Research Program at the Mailman School of Public Health, to support their career goals to become an independent, grant-funded physician-scientist.

This goal of this pathway is to train fellows as physician researchers with a focus on global health using basic, clinical, translational, policy, and implementation science approaches. The GHRP is a four-year research pathway with specific Global Health course requirements and provides fellows with international and global health research opportunities (which could also include research within a global health framework in New York City depending on the fellow’s interest).

This pathway prepares fellows for a career as academic clinicians and leaders. Fellows in this pathway are expected to identify an area of clinical focus in pulmonary medicine (interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, lung transplantation, advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy) or critical care medicine (Extracorporeal life support, respiratory failure, critical care ultrasound, palliative care/serious illness communication). During their third year, fellows develop their expertise by receiving advanced clinical training in their area of focus and by completing a scholarly project in either medical education, quality and safety, or a focused-research project.
