Note to applicants: In alignment with the Association of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Program Directors (APCCMPD), our national professional society, and to ensure a uniform interview process that is equitable to all applicants, our fellowship interviews will be held exclusively virtually. We will not offer in-person interviews. The full recommendation is available here.
All applicants interested in training at Duke University in our combined Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin. We are committed to a holistic and equitable review of all complete applications we receive.
Our programs only accept applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) system. Only complete applications received by July 25th, 2025 will be considered. We cannot offer interviews to candidates submitting incomplete applications.
Our recruitment committees will complete the initial application review process by August 8th, 2025. We are planning to send interview invitations to selected applicants between August 11-15, 2025. Interviews will be offered on the following dates:

Our programs participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Medicine and Pediatrics Specialties Match.
We generally cannot accept applicants requiring H1-B or J-1 visas into our Investigator Track because they are not supported by our federally funded training grant. However, please submit your application for review if you feel it is exceptional.
