Training experience in pulmonology + critical care medicine
We believe strongly that experiential learning is a core part of our training. Our fellows are front and center in all patient care activities. When a patient is acutely ill on the medical floor or in the Emergency Room, fellows are the first to be notified and involved. This hands-on approach ensures they are fully integrated into the daily care team and gain real-world experience from the start.
Fellows are expected to take ownership of their education by making decisions at the bedside. This responsibility extends beyond critical care to pulmonary medicine and procedural training, promoting independence and confidence.
Our program also offers a robust didactic curriculum with multiple conference series, including Case Conference, Morbidity and Mortality, Journal Club, Pulmonary Hypertension, Rheumatology-Pulmonary ILD and Pathology Case Conference.
Bedside ultrasound skills are taught within the ICU to help fellows build their portfolios and prepare for critical care echocardiography board certification if they choose. Additionally, we host Boston’s city-wide introductory ultrasound course for new first-year trainees, fostering early mastery of this essential skill.
