Thank you for your interest in the Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellowship at Elmhurst Hospital Center of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Our newly ACGME-accredited 3-year program builds on a rich tradition of pulmonary and critical care fellowship training at Elmhurst Hospital Center dating back to the 1960s.
The program’s academic mission is to graduate clinically adept and research-oriented Pulmonary/Critical Care physicians capable of practicing in a variety of clinical settings. Fellows benefit from individualized attention and close supervision provided by the program’s experienced and clinically savvy faculty. The program emphasizes all fundamental facets of clinical training in our field, including ultrasonography, advanced flexible bronchoscopy, airway management, sleep medicine, and pulmonary physiology. Broad critical care training encompasses all ICU domains, including cardiac, trauma, neurosurgical, and cardiothoracic. Elmhurst Hospital’s uniquely international patient population lends itself particularly well to an interest in tuberculosis and other global respiratory infections with ample research opportunities available in those areas among others. Rotations at Queens Hospital Center and at Mount Sinai Beth Israel contribute to a well-rounded training experience.
