Program Overview

Mission Statement:

At OHSU, our faculty and fellows love all things pulmonary and critical care. Our division is a diverse community committed to improving health by delivering exceptional clinical care, advancing scientific discovery, and educating the leaders of tomorrow.  

The guiding principles behind our fellowship program are: 

• It is a privilege to have fellows spend three years with us at OHSU. 

• Fellows are our junior colleagues who bring their own expertise to OHSU from diverse life and work experiences. Maintaining an inclusive environment is of the utmost importance to us. 

• Fellows’ education and growth are the focus of their time here at OHSU. 

Schedules: Our ICU schedules are predominantly day / night shifts. Pulmonary consult services are daytime with alternating home call and alternating weekend coverage. 

Fellows have continuity clinic at either OHSU or the Portland VA Medical Center. Fellows also have the opportunity to rotate at two community sites, Legacy Emmanuel Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente.

OHSU provides unique clinical and career development opportunities. See some of the highlights below:
