Gain experience in obtaining an occupational history, assessing patients for impairment, and understanding medico-legal issues related to occupationla lung disease. We maintain a complete lung pathology slide collection, basic chest radiography teaching file, and a bronchoscopy videotape library for fellow use. In addition, we are developing a complete World Wide Web-based database for instruction and reference. The fellows are evaluated monthly by the attending physicians on the inpatient and outpatient services. We use evaluation forms patterned after those used by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Residents also evaluate the pulmonary fellows using similar forms.
Each resident submits a written evaluation of the rotation and the teaching of the pulmonary faculty and pulmonary fellows using forms supplied by the Department.
