Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine
Welcome to the Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep (PACCS) Division led by Erhan Dincer, MD. The division includes more than 80 UMN faculty based at four hospital sites, and we proudly feature nationally recognized programs and leaders. We strive to find new treatments and cures for diseases through basic, clinical, and ‘big data’ research, while working to prevent respiratory illness. We partner with faculty across the University and colleagues in the community in our research, clinical, education, and training efforts.
Pulmonary & Critical Care Summit
The University of Minnesota Pulmonary & Critical Care Summit has been created to delve into every facet of pulmonary and critical care medicine. Its overarching objective is to provide attendees with a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the multifaceted realm of pulmonary and critical care medicine.
The PACCS three-year fellowship combines bedside teaching with extensive research opportunities in laboratory science, clinical research, or quality improvement projects.
Faculty and fellows conduct research in a wide range of topics, enrolling hundreds of patients per year in studies investigating sepsis, sedation during mechanical ventilation, pulmonary mechanics during respiratory failure, pulmonary fibrosis, sleep disorders, cystic fibrosis, asthma and emphysema, and other conditions.
PACCS faculty provide state-of-the-art care alongside a team of resident physicians, advanced practice providers, registered nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and pharmacists.
