The Ohio State University Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship

One of the major goals of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine is to prepare physicians for careers in academic medicine. The objective is to advance physicians’ clinical skills, scientific knowledge and patient caring attitudes in order to become outstanding clinicians and investigators. We also seek to ensure each fellow has the opportunity to pursue a research project in an area of his/her interest. A strength of our fellowship training program is the balance we provide in terms of clinical training, research opportunities and our educational curriculum. 

The pulmonary/critical care fellowship training program consists of 18 months of clinical training and 18 months of research activity. The majority of clinical inpatient training is done in the first year, with the second and third years protected for research training. These months are typically scheduled as follows:

First Year:	12 months clinical
Second Year:	9 months research, 3 months clinical service
Third Year:	9 months research, 3 months clinical service

In addition to the inpatient experience, fellows maintain an outpatient continuity clinic throughout their fellowship training.
