Program Curriculum
The current didactics curriculum aligns with the requirements that are established by the American Board of Internal Medicine and includes time for weekly case, imaging, article, and guideline reviews. This half day curriculum is accompanied each month by three Thursday morning conferences and one Journal Club. In addition, the program has implemented Tumor Board every first Thursday morning of the month, Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Conference every third Thursday morning of the month, and Pulmonary Hypertension (HTN) Conference every fourth Thursday morning of the month. Every third Thursday evening is dedicated to Journal Club to review articles that relate to the identified topic for the week. In addition, the fellows included a thirty-minute scholarly activity huddle every third Friday, every three months with the designated Research Coordinator for the West Florida Division; to help initiate and drive research and scholarly activity projects. In addition to this, we incorporated a multidisciplinary guest lecture scheme including different specialties. The facility is also excited to bring back Grand Rounds geared towards wellness, initiatives around sleep deprivation, healthcare disparities, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion throughout the academic year.
Fellows receive a comprehensive structured cognitive and procedural clinical education in both inpatient and outpatient settings that will enable them to become competent, proficient and professional osteopathic pulmonologists and critical care physicians.
