A primary goal of PCCM fellowship training at Duke is to help fellows discover and cultivate expertise across the full spectrum of academic medicine. Individualizing training with the guidance and support of faculty mentors enables trainees to graduate with the necessary experience to be qualified for the very best positions in our field.
Training Roadmaps
While no two PCCM fellows will have an identical training experience at Duke, we provide several roadmaps to help fellows navigate and customize their training paths:
The Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care, in conjunction with the Duke Hubert-Yeargan Center for Global Health have developed a combined fellowship for those interested in a career in global health and pulmonary medicine. In this pathway, the first two fellowship years are spent on clinical rotations and preparing an area of research for the fellow's time abroad. The 3rd year begins with a 6-week rotation at the planned research location overseas and then initiation of coursework with completion of the classroom portion of the Masters in Global Health at the end of the 3rd year. In the 4th year of training, a minimum of 9 months is spent overseas working on research to complete the master’s degree.
