University of Maryland Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

The University of Maryland’s Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) Fellowship program is nationally-renowned for preparing fellows for thriving careers in both clinical practice and research.

We provide an accredited, high-quality program that integrates comprehensive clinical training with an enriched research experience spanning clinical, translational and basic science realms.

Our program aims to:

• Train highly competent and empathetic physicians that provide exceptional, state-of-the-art care to their patients
• Provide balance between rigorous clinical and research training, as well as comprehensive education in both critical care and pulmonary medicine
• Cultivate each individual’s unique interests to foster their growth towards achieving successful and fulfilling careers

We seek applicants who aspire to excel as clinicians and are enthusiastic about enhancing their clinical knowledge through research endeavors. We firmly believe that learning how to properly and rigorously ask and answer scientific questions makes us better physicians. Hence, our three-year fellowship program includes a dedicated research year built in.

Our referral base is large, and the acuity of our medical intensive care unit is one of the highest in the country. This, along with our partnerships with Shock Trauma Center, Baltimore VA Medical Center, NIH Clinical Center and UMMC–Midtown, results in a rich learning environment with a broad range of rotations to train the next leaders in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine.
