The division’s three-year Fellowship Training Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in both Pulmonary and Critical Care medicine and is designed to prepare trainees to assume the directorship of a Pulmonary and Critical Care Service in a clinical setting, or to pursue an academic career.

Supervised by Dr. Doreen J. Addrizzo-Harris, the Fellowship Program accepts six fellows each year. During the clinical years, rotations include service in the Medical Intensive Care Units of each of the four major affiliated hospitals — including the brand-new state-of-the art combined medical, surgical, cardiac, and neurosurgical intensive care unit at Bellevue Hospital Center — and pulmonary consult services at Tisch Hospital, Bellevue, the VA Medical Center New York, and the Hospital for Joint Disease.

The program also includes rotations in Bellevue’s Pulmonary Function Laboratory and Sleep Laboratory, as well as a rotation as Chest Chief of the Bellevue Hospital Chest Service. Experience in ambulatory medicine is provided at both the Bellevue and VA Medical Center Chest Clinics and at the Bellevue Asthma Clinic.

Fellows also participate in a special Sleep Disorders Clinic and have the opportunity to attend the Occupational Medicine Clinic at Bellevue Hospital, directed by Dr. George Friedman-Jimenez.
