Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Overview

The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and its affiliated teaching hospitals offer a 3-year training program in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. The medical school faculty of 30 full-time hospital-based Pulmonary/Critical Care clinicians and research scholars provide a broad and diverse environment for clinical education and research training. Three hospitals participate in the clinical program: Rhode Island Hospital, the Providence VA Medical Center, and The Miriam Hospital. Research training may be hospital based or conducted on the University campus. Four fellowship positions are offered each year for training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. Additional years for research training are encouraged. Positions for the fellowship are filled through the National Resident Matching Program for Pulmonary Diseases. Fellows who wish to pursue an academic career in Pulmonary Medicine may be eligible for fourth and fifth years of training.

The purpose of the fellowship is to prepare board eligible or certified internists for a career in clinical or academic Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. In all aspects of the educational program the Fellow is encouraged to develop an attitude of scholarship and the intellectual curiosity to remain in the informational forefront of the discipline throughout a career. Training is carried out in a scholarly academic atmosphere that provides a wide exposure to clinical Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine as well as clinical and basic science research.
