The Interventional and Advanced Diagnostic Pulmonology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, is a one-year fellowship offered through the National Residency Matching Program to eligible graduates of pulmonary, pulmonary and critical care, or thoracic surgery fellowships. The fellowship maintains one fully-funded training position with the intent to graduate a fellow well-qualified to pass the board certification exam and establish independent practice as an interventional pulmonologist.

During the course of this one-year fellowship, trainees can expect a robust exposure to both malignant and non-malignant disease states involving primarily the airways, lung parenchyma and pleural space.
