Pulmonary & Critical Care Fellowship

About The Program

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship at Northeast Georgia Medical Center is a community-based fellowship training program with the purpose to educate and train outstanding pulmonary and critical care subspecialty physicians that will positively affect the health of the community at large. We desire to train fellows that will thrive in multiple avenues of medicine including academic, research, community and private practice settings. All training and education is grounded on the core values and larger mission of Northeast Georgia Medical Center to “improve the health of the community in all we do.”

What research opportunities will I have?

Research is an integral part of fellowship training. Fellows are expected to actively engage in scholarly activities, working closely with the GME Research & Quality Improvement and Scholarly Activity teams. Dedicated research blocks are allocated throughout all three years of training. Fellows interested in quality improvement or medical education will have the opportunity to participate in upper levels of training in one of the CoRE tracks.

What is the structure of the core conference series?

The core curriculum conference series will be delivered in a weekly academic half-day format. Our academic half-day sessions will take place on Thursdays from 12 PM to 3 PM. During this protected time, fellows will be relieved of all clinical duties, with either faculty or an Advanced Practice Provider (APP) handling the pager.
The sessions will feature faculty-led didactic lectures and a variety of conferences, including thoracic oncology case conferences, thoracic radiology case conferences, lung pathology case conferences, clinical case conferences, board review series, journal club, and ultrasound case conferences. Additionally, fellows on inpatient consults and bronchoscopy rotations are expected to attend the chest board/lung nodule conference every other Thursday morning from 7 AM to 8 AM.
Moreover, simulation sessions, research and quality improvement conferences, and morbidity and mortality conferences will be conducted quarterly.
