Conferences and Lectures
Weekly conferences led by faculty like Philippe E. Jaoude, MD, will help you better diagnose and manage the pulmonary diseases you'll see during your rotations.
Our lectures, conferences and journal club contextualize and build on the core of your training. They foster discussion and insight and help you stay informed about current pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine research.
Pulmonary and Critical Care Core Lecture Series
The pulmonary and critical care lectures broadly cover areas crucial to your development as a pulmonary and critical care professional.
Three-year didactic lecture series
Pulmonary Case Conference
Gain experience presenting complex patient cases while receiving exposure to the challenging and unique cases of your peers.

Fellows assigned to the consult service are responsible for coordinating the case conference.

As a second- or third-year fellow, you will present your research, receive expert feedback and gain insight about publishing your work.
Bimonthly
Clinical Pathologic Conference
Fellows collaborate with pathologists to acquire knowledge about interpreting biopsy specimens at this conference.
