Fellowship

The Beth Israel Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program is a 3 year combined program committed to outstanding clinical training in all aspects of pulmonary and critical care medicine.

The PCCM fellowship experience at BI is designed to prepare trainees for careers in academic pulmonary and critical care medicine as clinician-educators and to teach outstanding and compassionate interdisciplinary pulmonary and critical care medicine. Completion of the three-year fellowship fulfills the requirements for certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine in both Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine.

Fellowship Training Program

The core PCCM faculty includes 7 full-time, internationally-recognized faculty who possess a broad array of clinical and research interests covering the major fields of pulmonary medicine. Fellows interact with core faculty on a daily basis through bedside rounds, daily clinical conferences, journal clubs, and didactic sessions. Formal didactic sessions are built around a core lecture series given daily by BI faculty and include respiratory physiology, hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation, and respiratory infections. The Beth Israel Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) Fellowship Program is a 3 year combined program committed to providing outstanding clinical training in all aspects of pulmonary and critical care medicine.

Beth Israel’s comprehensive, state-of-the-art medical and surgical programs include special services, programs, and procedures that attract patients with a variety of difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Beth Israel Hospital is a 750-bed tertiary care referral center that serves the lower east side of Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs and is the Manhattan campus for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. BI’s unique combination of referral and primary care patient populations provides a well-balanced mix for the training and clinical research programs of the PCCM Fellowship Program.

The clinical training emphasizes the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic respiratory diseases, with emphasis on the practical application of pulmonary physiological and biologic principles and all aspects of critical care, consultative chest medicine, rehabilitation, pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, and sleep medicine. An equally important aspect of our program is training in a vast array of pulmonary and critical care procedures. BI training program includes in depth preparation in:

• Critical Care Ultrasonography
• Percutaneous Tracheostomies
• Management of the difficult airway
• Traditional and Ultrasound directed bronchoscopy
• Short and long-term chest thoracostomy tube insertion and maintenance
• Pleurodeisis
• Treatment of primary and secondary pulmonary hypertension
• Pulmonary rehabilitation

A unique aspect of the program is training in management of the difficult airway and advanced care of the acutely unstable patient. Included in the program is training in conducting clinical research and expectations for submission of data to national meetings and peer reviewed journals. This rare combination of procedural and intellectual training has established BI as a national leader for physician-trainees interested in cutting edge patient care.
