Pulmonary & Critical Care Fellowship

Message from the Program Director

Thank you for reviewing our website and showing interest in our training program. Our top priority is the professional development of our fellows. This consists of extensive education in the core principles of pulmonary and critical care medicine and individualization of training to match our fellows’ unique interests.

Dr. Cathy Bonham and I have collectively over 20 years of experience in PCCM fellowship education. We appreciate that there are many paths open to our trainees.

Our Program’s Mission Statement is as follows: “We strive for excellence in the care of our patients, ourselves, and our community.”

We live this statement through our Core Values.

  1. Patient and fellow safety come first!
  2. We are committed to a culture of excellence. We make ourselves accountable. We strive to do the right thing for the right reason, at the right time, and in the right way.
  3. We are committed to our fellows’ professional development.
  4. We believe in collaborative leadership.

Please look around the website and review our clinical rotations, conferences, and research opportunities. Also, review the biographies of our current faculty and fellows and past fellows. We are certainly happy to answer any additional questions you may have about the program.

We hope you will consider applying to our program, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Timothy J. Scialla

Program Overview

The Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship at the University of Virginia is a three-year program that provides a robust background in clinical pulmonary medicine and managing critically ill patients.

We provide strong mentorship for professional development during fellowship. There are opportunities for fellows to stay for an additional year of training. This additional year is specifically encouraged for those who want to pursue a grant-funded clinical investigator career or a combined fellowship, such as with clinical informatics. Fellows can tailor the experience based on their interests.

Introducing Pathways to Our Program

We have developed the following pathways that fellows may utilize as roadmaps to guiding their professional development when they have identified specific interests.

Application Information

We sincerely appreciate your interest in our program.

For interviews for the 2025-26 fellowship selection cycle, UVA is following AAMC guidance and will conduct virtual interviews for all applicants. Depending on interests, we have hosted an in-person “second-look” that follows our rank list meeting.

We understand that AI tools can assist applicants in improving their applications by enhancing clarity and checking for grammar mistakes. Please be mindful of your authenticity and use AI tools to enhance rather than replace your thoughts and experiences.

We do not require applicants to disclose the use of AI during our application or interview processes. We expect applicants to follow the specific guidelines provided by the application and match systems.

We elect not to use AI tools in our application review process. We have dedicated and trained faculty who utilize a holistic review process, considering all aspects of an applicant’s profile.

Planned Use of Program Signaling
While we preferentially review applicants who signal our program, we also consider applicants who do not.
