The Duke Fellowship Training Programs in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine produce outstanding physicians who are fully prepared to pursue careers in academic medicine.
Our combined Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine fellowship program is a three-year program. Upon completion of training, fellows are eligible for dual certification in pulmonary and critical care medicine. The American Board of Internal Medicine requires a minimum 18 months of clinical training for board certification in both of these disciplines. All fellows in our combined program engage in scholarly activity and receive robust mentorship from our world-renowned faculty. We offer a fourth year of fellowship for trainees seeking advanced research training.
Our combined fellowship program accepts 5 fellows each year.

Taking the lung apart cell by cell, to mend it
The photograph of blue, pink and neon-green globes that Christina Barkauskas, MD, keeps on her desk inside the Nanaline Duke Research Building looks like a string of glowing holiday lights. That is, until she decodes it.
Produced with a confocal microscope, the image is evidence of new insight into how some lung tissue repairs itself. It captures type 2 epithelial cells within alveoli functioning like stem or progenitor cells by giving rise to type 1 epithelial cells, which contribute to tissue repair.
For Dr. Barkauskas, this is not knowledge for knowledge’s sake. It’s data needed to better serve patients with often-lethal idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
