Introduction to the Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship Program

The MD Anderson Interventional Pulmonology fellowship is a one-year program that provides a comprehensive educational experience to elevate the knowledge and skills of interventional pulmonologists, positioning them to become leaders in the field.

Program Overview

Our fellows train within MD Anderson's department of Pulmonary Medicine, which consists of a group of physicians and scientists who provide complete consultative evaluation and management for patients with pulmonary disease associated with cancer, critically ill patients, or the workup of undiagnosed lung abnormalities.

Educational Experiences

Through our program, trainees will advance their understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the airways, mediastinum, lung, and pleural space, and enhance their procedural training. Graduates also will reinforce the foundation learned during their training in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Educational experiences are offered in both inpatient and outpatient settings and are delivered through didactics, consultation, multidisciplinary conferences, case-based/patient-based discussions, and research.
