Overview/Curriculum:

The pulmonary fellowship at - Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Center Queens is a fully approved two-year training program in pulmonary medicine at two teaching hospitals -- Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica and St. John's Queens Hospital in Elmhurst/Rego Park, which serve different communities and reflect a different mix of referral sources.

The program includes inpatient consultations in which a wide range of pulmonary diseases and complications are encountered and many different procedures are performed. Our service covers continuity of care pulmonary clinics, intensive care (four months), pulmonary function testing, rehabilitation and exercise physiology (two months), thoracic surgery/anaesthesia/ surgical intensive care (one month), infectious diseases at SVCMC (2-4 weeks), and clinical mycobacterial diseases in Denver (4 weeks). Additional elective time may be spent in pathology and radiology. Sleep medicine (one month) is at a cooperating academic medical center.

Fellows with previous training in critical care medicine, immunology or other allied areas are given preference in selection.

All fellows interested in a third year of critical care, to be eligible for critical care boards, have been placed in accredited academic programs.
