Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program

Research Opportunities

Skills acquired during research training are among the fundamental tools for developing critical thinking and preparing for a career, whether in academic medicine or in clinical practice. All fellows are required to participate in a research project during training. Fellows choose a research mentor and then either join an ongoing study or create their own. In addition to hypothesis-based investigations within the Division, we encourage interdisciplinary research that takes advantage of the extensive resources available at Rutgers. With ongoing advisement from the research mentor, all fellows are expected to have completed a research project by the end of their training.

Fellows typically present their findings at regional and/or national meetings and are encouraged to publish in peer-reviewed journals. Presentation of work at national meetings is supported by the Department.

Dedicated research time is available during fellows’ elective months.
