The fellowship program in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine provides an opportunity for high-quality hands-on training in all aspects of pulmonary and critical care.

The program's mission is to train skilled clinicians, physician-scientists and clinical educators. This is accomplished through intensive exposure to diverse clinical services in the inpatient and outpatient settings, a robust didactic educational program and institutional research opportunities. The section’s focus complements Baylor's mission of excellence in research, education and service.
