Overview and Philosophy:

UAB Interventional Pulmonology fellows are expected to be involved in mentored projects and scholarly pursuits during their training, regardless of their career plans. Fellows must complete mentored project requirements to be eligible to sit for board examination and to graduate.

Fellows are required to complete a research project (or a mentored Quality Improvement project) and will be expected to present their work in the form of an abstract at a national meeting. Alternatively, a published review paper in the area of investigation would fulfill the requirement for scholarly activities. During their training, fellows may pursue a masters level degree to support their career plans.
