A Letter from the Program Director
The Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Program at Indiana University School of Medicine and Riley Hospital for Children has a strong commitment to providing exceptional training of academic pediatric specialists. The program ensures fellows are well prepared to provide the best possible care for infants and children with lung disease, through diverse clinical and scientific inquiry. Strong mentorship is provided for each fellow in research, clinical care, advocacy, and teaching skills, to foster a customized path in beginning a robust pulmonary career.
Pediatric pulmonology faculty train future researchers who can apply their knowledge of basic, translational, and clinical science to enhance the understanding of children’s respiratory disease. Scholarly work is fostered in an environment of honest questioning and collaboration. Pediatric pulmonology fellows pursue high level scientific inquiry and are invited to present nationally. Clinically, the Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship Program emphasizes excellent care of the whole child and family, whether the child is chronically or acutely ill. Fellows benefit from a statewide referral base with a large and diverse clinical volume and a high faculty-to-fellow ratio in a collegial working environment. Academically, Indiana University School of Medicine fellowship graduates are skilled educators who seek new knowledge and who can teach others to do the same. Department-supported fellowship seminars provide cross-specialty competency, and peer group development.
Additionally, fellows have access to special academic opportunities during their training, which include but are not limited to, programs for Masters Degrees in Clinical or Translational Research, Public Health; Academy of Teaching Scholars Program; and a global health curriculum for clinical and research initiatives. We look forward to the opportunity to train motivated and excited individuals!
