Overview
The Division of Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, is now recruiting pulmonary fellows for July 2008 and
July 2009. The primary goal of the pulmonary fellowship program is to equip trainees with the knowledge base, values, and experience to
become independent pediatric pulmonologists. Fellows will receive extensive training in the outpatient and inpatient management of pediatric
lung diseases, as well as training in clinical education and research.
The Emory Children’s Center and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Hospital provide comprehensive subspecialty care to a variety
of children in the southeastern United States. Our facilities house a state-of-the-art pediatric sleep facility, an asthma clinical research
center, and one of the largest cystic fibrosis centers in the southeast. Other relevant specialties include transplantation medicine,
neonatal/perinatal medicine, cardiovascular medicine, and critical care medicine including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Program curriculum
The Pediatric Pulmonary Fellowship Program provides three years of training to interested physicians (M.D.s) after completion of a pediatric
residency program. Instruction in the basic and fundamental disciplines related to the lung will be provided to the pediatric pulmonary
fellows through a regularly scheduled pulmonary medicine review course, a basic science course focusing on cellular and molecular aspects
of lung disease, and a variety of other clinical and education experiences. Fellows will also be encouraged to spend time in various
clinical and research settings to enhance this experience.
- Year 1
-
In year 1 of the program, fellows will focus primarily on clinical training. Year 1 consists of 4 months of inpatient on-call service. The
inpatient experience will be divided between the general pulmonary ward at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Hospital, the Emory
Cystic Fibrosis Center, and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Other clinical experiences during year 1 include a hospital follow-up
continuity clinic, outpatient pediatric pulmonary clinic, and various subspecialty clinics (cystic fibrosis, asthma, sickle cell, allergy,
immunology). Fellows will also spend time in the pediatric sleep and pulmonary function laboratories. In addition a background in general
research design is provided and in the middle of the year fellows will start to combine subspecialty clinics with research activities.
- Year 2
-
In year 2, fellows will continue to be involved in clinical activities but will increasingly focus on research training. Year 2 consists
of two and a half months in the general pulmonary ward at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston Hospial, and one elective month in
anesthesiology or cardiology. Other clinical experiences will be similar to those in year one, and may also include a transplant and
pulmonary hypertension clinic. The primary expectation during year 2 is that the fellow will start to accumulate preliminary data so as
to prepare an abstract in October – December of year 2 to a national meeting.
- Year 3
-
In year 3 of the program, pediatric pulmonary fellows will focus on research activities. There is no inpatient, on-call service during
year three. Clinical activities will be divided among hospital follow-up continuity clinics, highly-specialized outpatient pulmonary
clinics, and sleep/pulmonary function laboratory experiences. The heavy emphasis on research will enhance the likelihood that a trainee
will finish a project, have time to analyze the results, and prepare a manuscript for publication.
Conference Schedule
In addition to clinical experiences, fellows will be expected to attend a basic science course (1 week in year 1), a pediatric pulmonary
review course, a pediatric pulmonary research seminar, and pediatric resident conferences.
