Fellows' Top Ten Lists

We polled our Fellows for the top ten things they like about the program and about Rochester. The results are in!

Top 10 Reasons We Love this Program

  1. Core lecture series – every summer, our expert faculty deliver a set of weekly lectures on core topics of pulmonary & critical care medicine
  2. Hyde Conference – Everyone’s favorite weekly pulmonary conference gets every Wednesday off to a great start.
  3. Protected research time – all PCCM fellows have a guaranteed 9-18 months of protected time for research.
  4. Subspecialty expertise – asthma, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, tuberculosis, lung cancer and more! During your subspecialty outpatient rotation, you will have the chance to rotate with true leaders in these areas of pulmonary medicine.
  5. Annual International Conference – every fellow gets funding and coverage during every year of fellowship to attend a national meeting.
  6. Bronchoscopy – basic and advanced, you’ll see it all here. Under the guidance of our interventional pulmonary faculty, you will move from fundamental to advanced, state-of-the-art skills. The current reigning champion # of bronchoscopies is 360 – do you think you can top her?
  7. The MICU - >3000 admissions a year, baby!
  8. Airways! Fellows graduate with an average of 100+ intubations during their training
  9. The faculty – this place and its people love you back!
  10. The other fellows and residents – when you are here, you are family.
