One-year advanced procedural training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

The Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center is an ACGME-accredited, one-year advanced procedural training program for physicians who have completed fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. 

The program accepts one fellow annually, providing individualized mentorship with progressive autonomy, and extensive hands-on procedural experience. Fellows train directly with three fellowship-trained, board-certified interventional pulmonologists within a large academic division with over 50 faculty members. 

As a major quaternary referral center serving North Texas and the cross-border regions of adjoining states, Baylor University Medical Center offers a high-volume procedural training with broad exposure to lung cancer, pleural disease, benign lung diseases and complex airway disorders including post-lung transplant airway complications. 

Our fellowship emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration with oncology, thoracic surgery, lung transplantation, otolaryngology (ENT) and critical care services, fostering a comprehensive approach to the care of patients with complex thoracic diseases.

Upon successful completion of training, graduates are eligible for board certification in Interventional Pulmonology through the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP)

Through comprehensive clinical and procedural training across the spectrum of interventional pulmonology, fellows develop the expertise, judgment, and confidence necessary for independent practice and future leadership in both clinical and academic settings

As the largest not-for-profit health care system in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, Baylor Scott & White serves 41 counties through 53 hospitals, more than 1,300 access points, more than 7,100 active physicians, more than 59,000 team members and the Baylor Scott & White Health Plan.
