New Interventional Cardiology and Pulmonary Critical Care Fellowships Announced

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has approved two new Internal Medicine fellowships for the UT Graduate School of Medicine. Beginning July 1, 2016 the UTGSM will add Interventional Cardiology and Pulmonary Disease/Critical Care Medicine bringing the total number of fellowships to ten. 

Interventional Cardiology is a one-year fellowship program directed by Dale Wortham, MD with one position available each year. Program requirements include completion of an Internal Medicine Residency program as well as a Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship. Adding the new Interventional Cardiology Fellowship will enhance physicians interested in cardiology programs by providing access to further specialized training in the Heart Lung Vascular Institute, a Center of Excellence at The University of Tennessee Medical Center.

The new Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine fellowship will be an extension of the current Pulmonary Disease Fellowship program with an additional Critical Care component. The program, directed by Tina Dudney, MD, will move from a two-year fellowship to a three-year fellowship and is currently approved for two fellows per year.

For more information, please contact Pam Trentham, Fellowship Coordinator.
