The Corewell Health Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant Fellowship at Corewell Health is a one-year program offering advanced, focused training in lung transplantation. Fellows train within one of the nation’s leading lung transplant programs, gaining hands-on experience across the full spectrum of advanced lung disease care: from diagnosis and longitudinal management through transplant evaluation, perioperative care and long-term post-transplant follow-up.
Why train here?
Fellows will work alongside a multidisciplinary team spanning interstitial lung diseases (ILD), pulmonary hypertension (PH), interventional pulmonary (IP), and transplant pulmonology, with direct access to large cardiothoracic and medical ICUs and a nationally accredited PH program. Combined with a strong research infrastructure and academic resources with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, the program prepares fellows to lead in either academic or high-acuity clinical practice in advanced lung disease. Fellows who successfully complete this one-year training program will meet UNOS Primary Lung Transplant Physician requirements.
