  • A written curriculum for each rotation.
  • Exam review course - an annual review of pulmonary critical care in preparation for in-service exams.
  • Journal Club- a twice-monthly critical review of recent medical literature given by fellows.
  • Fellow School – Basic topics in pulmonary and critical care presented in July and August. Designed to build a base of knowledge to carry fellows forward in the program.
  • M&M – meets monthly to discuss in-depth diagnosis and management of fatal pulmonary disorders.
  • PFT’s – Pulmonary Function Test case studies monthly review
