Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

Developing Academic & Clinical Leaders in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin is a comprehensive three-year program designed to develop excellent physicians in pulmonary and critical care medicine. The program’s clinical facilities and faculty cover a broad range of clinical care and training, equipping fellows to pursue careers in community hospitals and tertiary care centers.

The fellowship’s prime focus is educational excellence. Fellows will have opportunities to work one-on-one with program faculty in many rotations and receive direct supervision to advance their skills. In other rotations, fellows will be expected to manage intensive care unit teams comprised of medical residents and students. During the three-year fellowship, trainees are given 10 protected months to design and complete a scholarly activity. Fellows will also participate in several educational conferences and lecture series aimed to round out their education.

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship is affiliated with Dell Med’s Department of Internal Medicine. Learn more in a welcome letter from the program director.
