Thank you for your interest in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Training Program at the UC Davis Medical Center. The goal of our program is to produce skilled pulmonary and critical care clinicians, teachers and investigators. An individualized curriculum with a minimum of 18 months of clinical service provides patient care experience with a broad range of diseases, and hands-on experience in all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The balance of the three-year program is available for clinical and basic science research activities. Tracks for careers in biomedical research, clinical education and clinical care are tailored for each fellow. An educational curriculum running the duration of the three-year program provides exposure to radiology, pathology, current literature, related disciplines, and research interests of division colleagues as well as collaborators in the UC Davis Center for Comparative Respiratory Biology and Medicine. Training in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and immunology is available. Clinical research opportunities include patient- and disease-oriented studies and epidemiologic investigations. An optional fourth year of fellowship training may be available to those individuals desiring additional protected research time.

• We review and consider applications for US citizens, permanet residents and outstanding J-1 visa holders.
