Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship

On behalf of the Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship Program at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. As the Program Director, it is my privilege to introduce you to our fellowship program. Our goal is to enhance patient care by training exceptional interventional pulmonologists through a rigorous and comprehensive educational experience. We aim to advance the field by fostering innovation, promoting cutting-edge research, and providing the highest quality patient care.

At MD Anderson, we take great pride in our commitment to offering comprehensive training that equips fellows with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to become leaders in Interventional Pulmonology. Our program offers a challenging yet rewarding one-year curriculum that integrates clinical care, research, and scholarly activities.

Our program is dedicated to developing skilled clinicians, compassionate advocates, and thoughtful researchers who are committed to improving the lives of patients with complex respiratory diseases. We strive to nurture a diverse and inclusive environment where fellows can excel, contribute to medical knowledge, and serve the community with the highest level of professional integrity and excellence.

We focus on clinical excellence, research proficiency, education and training, innovation and development, professional growth and leadership, and diversity and inclusion. Fellows are actively involved in every aspect of patient care, from diagnosing and managing pulmonary diseases to the latest advancements in cancer treatment, under the guidance of our experienced faculty.

As a fellow in our program, you will function as a key member of the Interventional Pulmonology team, which includes an IP faculty, an advanced practice provider and occasionally a Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellow. Under the guidance of supervising faculty, you will be responsible for evaluating all patients on the Interventional Pulmonology service. To hone your skills as an educator, you will also provide direct supervision to Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellows who may be rotating on the service.

I invite you to explore all that our Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship Program has to offer and consider joining our dynamic and passionate team of clinicians, researchers, and educators. Whether your goal is to pursue a career in academic medicine, clinical practice, or research, we are committed to providing you with the training and support you need to achieve your aspirations and make a meaningful impact in the lives of patients.

Thank you for considering the Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship Program at MD Anderson. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and embarking on this transformative journey together.
