Critical Care Medicine and Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Programs
Fellowship Program Director: Amisha Barochia, MBBS, MHS, ATSF
Overview
The NIH Clinical Center offers Critical Care Medicine (CCM) and Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) fellowship programs designed to:
- Provide comprehensive clinical training in the care of critically ill patients and those with pulmonary disease
- Develop critical thinking skills applicable to any patient with single or multisystem organ failure
- Train the next generation of physician scientists and academic leaders
Clinical training consists of broad range of patients, procedures, teaching opportunities.
The PCCM track is a combined program in collaboration with the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), where the majority of pulmonary medicine training occurs at UMMC, while the Critical Care training is the same as for the CCM program. Opportunity for combined subspecialty training in pulmonary diseases, infectious diseases, and cardiology at top affiliated institutions is also offered for those in the Critical Care Medicine track.
24 months of protected research training is provided for both CCM and PCCM tracks, and an additional 12 months of research training is available for those in the physician scientist track.
The goal is to maximize opportunities to support career development for rising physician scientists. The majority of our alumni obtain academic positions after graduation. Our graduates are national leaders in the field of Critical Care Medicine because of the mentoring, extended research and training time, and resources available to advance their careers.
The NIH CCM and PCCM Fellowships are committed to fostering a culture in which people from all backgrounds are valued, engaged and empowered to reach their full professional potential.
