2013 FELLOWSHIP RECRUITMENT NEWS 
During the 2012 - 2013 academic year the fellowship had 10 pulmonary disease and critical care medicine and 2 critical care track fellows (both one year fellowships) for a total of 12 fellows.
 
Starting July 1st, 2014 there will be 11 pulmonary disease and critical care medicine fellows and 4 critical care track fellows (2 one year fellows and 2 two year fellows) for a total of 15 fellows.
 
Each year four PUD/CCM fellows will be recruited. Fellows accepted for the critical care track are here for one year if they have previous subspecialty training and two years if not. There are four approved positions so either two or four fellows will be recruited for the critical care track each year. The PUD/CCM positions will be included in the NRMP fellowship match and candidates will apply through ERAS.
 
Physicians already trained in an internal medicine subspeciality who need only one year of critical care training are encouraged to apply. Candidates trained in Emergency Medicine will be considered based on the current ABIM, ABEM, and ACGME regulations.
