The goal of the three-year Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, is to foster the development of trainees to become knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate pulmonary and critical care medicine clinicians and academicians who are lifelong learners.

• Elective rotations to meet your individual training needs
• Clinical and technical experience with pulmonary function studies, polysomnography, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation
