Our goal
The TidalHealth Pulmonary Disease & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship program will create physicians who will be recognized for the high-quality, efficient, effective, ethical, equitable and economical healthcare they provide to their future patients.
Our fellows will be exposed to a complete range of disease presentations, including obstructive lung diseases, neuromuscular disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, transplant, lung cancer, sleep and rehabilitation, and will be trained in advanced therapies, including robotic bronchoscopy, ECMO and interventional pulmonology.
Our trainees will be as diverse and as dedicated to lifelong learning and teaching as our faculty.
Fellows will train under board-certified physicians until they are proficient enough to be granted autonomy. Fellows will avail themselves of research opportunities via the TidalHealth Richard A. Henson Research Institute and pursue life skills and leadership training via the Experiential Center for Learning (ExCeL), which includes sailing and flight training courses.
This fellowship will aim to:
- Facilitate an environment in which fellows can interact with patients under the guidance and supervision of qualified faculty members who give value, context and meaning to those interactions.
- Support the development of fellows as they advance in clinical skills, knowledge and values.
- Help fellows progress from understanding basic concepts to actively leading and mentoring in patient safety and quality improvement efforts.
- Prepare fellows for independent practice in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine through comprehensive faculty mentorship.
