The mission of the University of Minnesota Pediatric Pulmonology Fellowship is to train expert leaders in pediatric respiratory care who advance clinical excellence, research innovation, and education to improve the health of children with pulmonary and sleep disorders.
Hosted within the Division of Pediatric Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine at the Masonic Children’s Hospital, the ACGME-accredited three-year fellowship combines robust clinical training with extensive research opportunities. The first year emphasizes hands-on clinical experience through outpatient and inpatient care, pulmonary procedures such as bronchoscopy and pulmonary function testing, and multidisciplinary exposure to a wide range of respiratory and sleep disorders. The second and third years focus on scholarly activity, supported by a strong foundation in research and mentorship. Clinical services span cystic fibrosis, asthma, sleep disorders, neuromuscular respiratory care, and congenital airway diseases.
