Mission Statement
Our mission is to train the next generation of pulmonary critical care specialists to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to patients with a wide range of respiratory diseases. We strive to create a learning environment that fosters innovation, collaboration and the pursuit of excellence.
As a program, we are committed to being at the forefront of cutting-edge research that will lead to new discoveries and improve patient outcomes. We seek to develop a deep understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying respiratory diseases and to translate this knowledge into new therapies and treatments.
Overall, our mission is to train exceptionally pulmonary critical care physicians who are excited about the important work they do and are acutely aware of their responsibility in advancing the field through research.
We strive to foster a sense of community within our program that encourages our trainees to be leaders. We recognize the importance of giving back to the patients we serve and endeavor our trainees to participate in civic service and outreach activities.
