The School of Medicine offers a transgenic animal service, peptide sequencing and synthesis, and oligonucleotide synthesis and sequencing. Moreover, there are over 30 faculty members within and external to the Section with whom fellows have recently carried out their research. In addition, the Section has a close relationship with the Yale Clinical Scholars Program. The purpose of this program is to prepare fellows for careers in clinical academic medicine. Study design and analysis are emphasized during a rigorous one-year course extending throughout the year.
All fellows meet quarterly with the director of fellowship research throughout their training.
In addition, all fellows choose a faculty mentor to guide their research and career development by April of their first year. This popular program, unique to Yale, is designed to optimize each fellow's career development. Conferences Several clinical and research conference seminars are offered at Yale-New Haven Medical Center and many of the affiliated hospitals each week. Outline of Pulmonary Training Program The Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship training program is a three-year subspecialty experience with an optional fourth year for additional research. Most fellows also choose to become eligible for a certificate of competency in critical care medicine.
