Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship

Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

About the Program

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at Saint Michael’s Medical Center is a prestigious, three-year ACGME-accredited program designed to train exceptional pulmonologists and intensivists. Located in Newark, New Jersey, the program offers comprehensive clinical exposure across pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine within a diverse urban patient population.

With more than 50 years of history, the fellowship has been a cornerstone of advanced pulmonary and critical care in Newark. Fellows primarily train at Saint Michael’s Medical Center and Saint Mary’s General Hospital, with select rotations at Westchester Medical Center and JFK Medical Center, providing a broad and well-rounded clinical experience.

Program Mission

Our fellowship is committed to excellence in clinical training within a supportive, collaborative learning environment. We emphasize compassionate, patient-centered care, continuous improvement, and respect for the dignity and rights of every individual.

As a program rooted in an urban safety-net setting, our mission extends beyond the hospital walls. We are dedicated to serving underserved communities, advancing health equity, and contributing to community partnerships, quality improvement efforts, and charitable care initiatives.

Program Goals

Our goal is to develop well-rounded pulmonary and critical care physicians who are clinically excellent, professionally grounded, and socially accountable.

Fellows are trained to master evidence-based medicine, procedural skills, and multidisciplinary collaboration across complex care environments. Equally important, we foster cultural humility, leadership, and engagement in population health and health equity initiatives—preparing graduates to lead and advocate in underserved and safety-net settings.
