Our Current Fellows
Our fellows are some of the best fellows at UCLA, and regularly receive nominations for "Fellow of the Year." They serve as leaders both inside and outside of the hospital in multiple domains including clinical medicine, basic and translational research, medical education and professional society engagement. Due to the breadth and depth of expertise amongst our faculty, the Pulmonary & Critical Care Division at UCLA is uniquely positioned to provide our fellows with an individualized experience that will launch them into whatever career path they choose.
