Michael Castellano, M.D. (right), Director of Pulmonary Medicine, leads rounds in the Critical Care area.
The Division interacts with residents in an ongoing fashion during all three years of
residency training through daily teaching rounds on the medical floors, intensive care
units and Ambulatory Care Department. The senior medical resident on the pulmonary rotation
spends one month performing consultations under faculty supervision and participates
actively in the pulmonary function lab and special care units.
The pulmonary service provides 24-hour-a-day availability of respiratory therapists for
arterial blood gas determinations and ventilator maintenance. Full pulmonary function
testing, including spirometry, lung volumes and diffusion studies, are available on a
daily basis. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, a fully equipped sleep laboratory, pulmonary
angiography, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, and iridium brachytherapy are available
on a continual basis. Residents participate in these procedures under the supervision of
the pulmonary teaching staff.
A student elective is available.
