Fellowship Program

The mission of the Yale Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) program is to provide outstanding training in clinical pulmonary and critical care medicine and to provide a scholarly environment conducive to the development of academic pulmonary and critical care physicians. This comprehensive fellowship program consists of a three-year training period during which at least 18 months are dedicated to clinical training to acquire the clinical skills to practice PCCM medicine, and 18 months to research in PCCM medicine for a total of 36 months (fulfilling the ACGME requirement). Fellows may opt to continue fellowship beyond three years depending on their career goals. Graduates of the Yale PCCM program are well trained in patient care, teaching and research. The program is structured for trainees to achieve appropriate cognitive knowledge, procedural skills, interpersonal skills, professional attitudes and practical knowledge in the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine to enable them to function as highly competent sub-specialists in the field. Under the sponsorship of the Section's T32 NIH sponsored training grant, present day fellows are receiving advanced training in molecular biology, cell biology, clinical epidemiology and health services research. Since 1976, approximately 150 fellows have completed their training in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Yale. Approximately 70% of trainees have entered academic medicine and approximately 30% have entered clinical practice.
