Pulmonary/Critical Care

Pulmonary/Critical Care Fellowship

The pulmonary and critical care fellowship training program emphasizes clinical experiences in the medical intensive care unit, on the pulmonary consultation service, and on the pulmonary procedure service at University Medical Center. Fellows also rotate through the neurocritical care unit at University Medical Center and through the medical intensive care unit at Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock. Fellows can take electives in the Department of Internal Medicine and in other departments in the School of Medicine. Each fellow has a continuity of care clinic.

Fellows develop expertise in fiberoptic bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy, navigational bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and ICU based procedures, such as intubation, central venous catheter insertion, and arterial catheter insertion.

Fellows work closely with faculty members in the Department of Internal Medicine, residents in the clinical departments in the School of Medicine, and students in the School of Medicine. All fellows are expected to develop a research project and a quality improvement project. The program encourages attendance and presentation at national and regional conferences. First-year fellow participate in a Texas wide Boot Camp to introduce them into pulmonary and critical care medicine training.
