First year fellows are paired with a pulmonary attending and mentor at Highland Hospital  for their continuity clinic on Tuesday afternoon. This general pulmonology clinic experience provides exposure to patients with a wide array of advanced pathologies, many of whom have not had access to regular medical care. During their pulmonary medicine rotation at Highland fellows also will have the opportunity to participate in a multi-disciplinary tuberculosis clinic managing complex cases of MDR and XDR tuberculosis on Wednesday afternoons.

For their continuity clinic experience, second year fellows will manage their own weekly general pulmonary patient panel at SF Lung and Sleep medicine (located in the medical office building across the street from the VNC Hospital), under attending supervision.

Third year fellows have the opportunity to choose to continue managing their general pulmonology patient or focus in a particular area of pulmonary medicine with an attending faculty mentor. Subspecialty areas of focus include sleep medicine, pulmonary nodules/lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, obstructive lung disease, interventional pulmonary, and interstitial lung disease.

CPMC and SF Lung is also home to a cystic fibrosis multi-disciplinary clinic which occurs on Tuesday afternoons twice a month. Fellows will have the opportunity to learn about the complex care of CF patients alongside clinic staff including pulmonologists, nutritionists, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and mental health specialists.
