Pulmonary/Critical Care Fellowship Training John G. Mastronarde, M.D. Director, OSU P/CC Fellowship Program
Why do Pulm/CC? • Decisions • Diversity • Demand • Destiny
P/CC FellowshipDecisions • Pulm/CC docs make decisions • ICU requires attention to detail and ability to decide on a plan of care • Do not have to be brightest bulb in bin • Pulm also need to make decisions but not as intense usually as ICU
P/CC FellowshipDiversity • Many career options now opening via P/CC • Traditional path is do both P/CC • Intensivist path is mainly CC • Outpatient/consults do mainly Pulm • Further fellowships/training: • Sleep • Transplant • IP • PH • CF
P/CC FellowshipDiversity • Outpatient practice is a mixture of chronic disease management and folks needing procedures • Consults either acute flares or procedure requests • ICU is ICU • Upshot of diversity is more readily available for family oriented folks (see McCallister)
P/CC FellowshipDemand • Current atmosphere is calling for an intensivist to be involved in all ICU care in the U.S.A. (Leapfrog Group) • Not enough ICU trained docs • Demand is high • Lifestyle has changed in response • Salaries climbing • Private Practice: $300,000 - $350,000 to start; • Academics $150,000 – $200,000 to start
P/CC FellowshipDestiny • If you like the ICU, you like the ICU • Issue centers on what you like in the ICU • Just procedures? • Management of plan of care?
P/CC FellowshipDiscuss • I am happy to meet and discuss fellowship training • Pulmonary Interest Group has several Happy Hour outings w faculty/fellows attending • Email me if you are interested in meeting and coming to the Happy Hours (free beer)
