Dr. Bell describes what makes a good Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship training program. https://med.virginia.edu/pulmonary/ The things that a fellow should look for in a training program are, getting the skills that you need to practice pulmonary and critical care medicine. I would say, without a doubt, those skills are here. The ability to do procedures, to run patient-family meetings, to interact in a team environment where we have nurses, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists. All these different people who are coming together to take care of patients, and have a little autonomy, have an ability to make decisions about what sorts of things to do for a patient on a daily basis. Those were things that I found very valuable in my training experience and that’s certainly what we try to provide for our fellows here. Another part of training is just recognizing that, critical care, intense, is in the name of the field. A good training program recognizes this, and looks out for their fellows as well. It makes sure that fellows are doing well, that they feel fresh, and despite working long hours, that they feel fulfilled at the end of the day. Making sure that we’re in constant communication with the fellows to make sure that they’re getting a good experience, and if something is not working that well, that we can change that, and they have the ability to make that change. We’re a small community and we get along with each other. We like each other, and care about each other. I think that the best training environment is one that stimulates you academically, and also fulfills you personally, so without question, our fellowship program provides that for our fellows.
