The goals of this rotation are:

To provide a comprehensive clinical experience in the management of pre- and post-lung transplant patients as well as patients undergoing ECMO.

To provide the fellows with the opportunity of working on a non-medical ICU environment, in conjunction with nurse practitioners.

To increase knowledge on the guidelines for referral and the appropriate timing for lung transplantation.

To increase knowledge on the chronic management of immune suppression in the outpatient setting.

To enhance skills on bronchoscopy and associated techniques/procedures in the lung transplant setting

Fellows will be exposed to all aspects of lung transplantation medicine and management of patients with advanced lung disease on ECMO. They attend pre-transplant and post transplant clinics as well as rounds in the many intensive care units that handle this patient population.
