We’ll make sure you gain more than outstanding clinical skills. Like the chance to explore the business and financial aspects of pulmonary critical care medicine.

You’ll also benefit from our fellowship’s robust ethics and communication skills component.

Most of your training will take place at Geisinger Medical Center, the largest tertiary/quaternary care teaching hospital in the region. Geisinger Medical Center is licensed for 575 beds, including 89 pediatric beds in the Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital.
