Program overview
Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant Program, a part of the Inova Lung Services, is a well-established, internationally recognized academic program. Based at the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus in the Greater Washington, DC, area, it encompasses a highly-respected lung transplant program, PHA-accredited Comprehensive Care Pulmonary Hypertension Center with a growing CTEPH program, a PFF-accredited Interstitial Lung Disease Referral Center, CFF-accredited CF program and an ELSO Platinum Center of Excellence ECMO program. We provide care to the patients with a range of advanced pulmonary disorders including a range of ILDs, PH, bronchiectasis, CF, sarcoidosis and COPD.
Our fellowship is a one-year, PGY-7 program that offers an opportunity for additional training in the care of patients with the full spectrum of rare, advanced and progressive lung diseases. Fellow experience encompasses training in the evaluation and management of patients with advanced lung diseases, lung donors, transplant candidates and lung transplant recipients, including immediate post-operative and longitudinal care. Evaluation and management of complex airway issues post transplantation is also available.
In addition to clinical responsibilities, there are multiple opportunities for clinical research, as well as teaching medical students, residents and pulmonary/critical care fellows. Development and successful completion of a long term translational and/or clinical project with appropriate mentorship is expected.
