Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship
Fellowship in Pulmonology and Critical Care
The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) Fellowship at Lahey Clinic is a 3-year program that allows graduates to sit for both pulmonary and critical care medicine boards.
When on pulmonary service, fellows receive comprehensive training and practice in outpatient and inpatient pulmonary disease diagnosis and therapeutics.
When on service in the ICU, fellows learn and practice leading-edge resuscitative medicine and perform life-saving procedures.
Other rotations include interventional pulmonology, cystic fibrosis, and others.
Our program offers a high faculty-to-trainee ratio. You’ll work directly with our pulmonary and critical care medicine professionals. But you’ll also interact with physicians and trainees in anesthesiology, cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery, internal medicine and its subspecialties, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and urology.
We have six fellows in our program at any one time. Two positions are available each year.
What You Can Expect
During your three-year fellowship, you’ll maintain an active clinical practice. You’ll also participate in clinics focused on asthma, tuberculosis and sleep medicine.

Research
Research opportunities are an essential component of your training. As part of your fellowship, you’ll have the option to develop a research proposal and present it to Lahey’s Institutional Review Board. With guidance from a supervising faculty member, you’ll carry out the project and present it at a national meeting. You may also have the opportunity to contribute to an invited book chapter or submit interesting case reports for publication in a peer reviewed journal.
You may complete your project at any time during your training. However, six months are set aside specifically for research.
During this time, you can work on your project without any daytime clinical responsibilities other than your weekly Outpatient Continuity Clinic. You will also have the option of using one or two of your elective blocks to do research.
