Overview
The Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship adheres to the requirements for Pediatric Pulmonology certification by the Pulmonology Subboard of the American Board of Pediatrics, and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The goals of our three year program are to provide:
- A base of scientific skills and expertise that will ultimately allow fellows to become independently functioning and funded investigators
- Skills to provide expert clinical care for children and adolescents with disorders of the respiratory system
- A solid knowledge base and skills to guide, instruct and teach others the fundamentals of lung function and clinical care
- To build administrative and time management skills
Curriculum
The first year is comprised of broadly based clinical training followed by two years primarily devoted to research training. Each fellow’s continuity clinic developed in year one, is extended on a limited basis to years two and three providing extensive exposure to pulmonary diseases, testing/interpretation and diagnosis. Throughout all three years fellows are required to attend, participate in, and present various clinical, physiology, and research conferences and seminars. Emphasis is continually placed on the critical and inquisitive interpretation of all written and spoken scientific information. Much effort is devoted to assisting fellows in developing clear and concise teaching and writing skills.
Ongoing Evaluations of Fellows
Upon arrival in the fellowship, the goals and expectations for the fellowship are reviewed with the Program Director. In addition to frequent informal interactions, the fellow and the Program Director meet semiannually to review progress, obstacles, and plans. In the second year, plans are developed with the fellow for his or her job search strategy.
Application Process
Prerequisite
The postdoctoral education prequisite is three years of general pediatric residency training.
Application
For consideration to our Fellowship Program please submit:
- Completed application
- Personal statement telling us about yourself, your interest in Pulmonology, long term plans, and specific fellowship training goals
- Three letters of recommendation from the Chief of Pediatrics, and two other faculty members who are affiliated with your work
Please go to this link to download and send application.
Candidates are required, with rare exception, to visit Rochester for personal interviews with members of the faculty and to meet with our current fellows.
Selection criteria will include an excellent residency performance record and goals consistent with those of the Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship Program. Preference will be given to applicants who have completed an ACGME accredited pediatrics residency.
Applications, recommendations and questions may be addressed to:
Eulalia Cheng, M.D.Director, Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship Program Department of Pediatrics, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry 601 Elmwood Ave, Box 667Rochester, N.Y. 14642 Phone: (585) 275-2464 Fax: (585) 275-8706 Email: Lalie_Cheng@urmc.rochester.edu
