Training expert interventional pulmonologists with strong academic credentials
The Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt offers a one-year Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship program. The goal is to produce expert interventional pulmonologists with strong academic credentials, preparing them for a successful career in Interventional Pulmonology.
Interventional Pulmonology is a subspecialty of pulmonary and critical care medicine that focuses on the evaluation and management of thoracic diseases primarily involving the airways, lung parenchyma, and pleural space, with focus on minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedural skills beyond the scope of standard pulmonary medicine fellowship requirements.
