Description of fellowship:
The CHLA Fellowship training program in Pediatric Pulmonology is designed to train physicians capable of assuming a leadership role in the development of the subspecialty. In addition to excellence in clinical care, our program provides training in the academic activities of research and teaching. The training is 3-year ACGME accredited fellowship training program. Fellows who successfully complete our fellowship qualify for American Board of Pediatrics eligibility in Pediatric Pulmonology. We accept up to two fellows per year for a three-year program. Some fellows will stay for a fourth year, usually involved in research. Training occurs on an apprenticeship basis with our faculty. You will get to know our faculty and fellow colleagues quite well, and they will be your teachers.
Our Fellowship Training Program provides approximately 14-months of clinical training out of 3-years, and 19 months of research training. Clinical training is concentrated in the first year (9-months), with decreasing time in the second and third years. This schedule provides increasing time for research as the fellowship progresses. This allows the fellow to gain an idea about the subject matter of the subspecialty first, in order to decide what might interest him or her, and to decide which faculty he or she might want to work with for research.
