About Pulmonary Fellowship Program
The Emory University Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Program is an ACGME-accredited program. We are affiliated with Emory University, with the majority of clinical experience provided at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Ambulatory clinics are held nearby at our North Druid Hills campus.
The broad goal of our pediatric pulmonology fellowship program is to prepare post-graduate trainees for successful careers in academic pediatric pulmonary medicine. To achieve this goal, trainees engage in a comprehensive curriculum including diverse clinical assignments, preparation in research design and methodology, and formal teaching sessions.
We recognize the need to tailor training experiences based upon our trainees’ diverse backgrounds in order to complete their preparation for future success. While all trainees will participate in core activities, the curriculum facilitates flexibility toward different career paths. Our program offers three unique paths that parallel future career tracks: clinician educator, clinical researcher, and basic science researcher. By identifying career goals early in fellowship, trainee education can be tailored to prepare our fellows for successful careers in academic pediatric pulmonary medicine.

Pulmonary Fellowship Curriculum
The goal of our pediatric pulmonology fellowship program is to provide didactic training for pediatric physicians to prepare them for a career in academic pulmonary medicine. Our core curriculum is structured such that the majority of clinical training will occur during the first year, allowing fellows to focus on research training during the second and third years.
Fellows will engage in specific training experiences according to the career path selected during their first year. The three career paths offered by our program include a clinician educator track, a clinical research track, and a bench research track.
