Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship

The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) offers a highly selective, one-year Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship in Charleston, SC. Led by Christopher Gilbert, D.O., this program is designed for clinicians ready to push the boundaries of pulmonary medicine, providing hands-on training across the full range of advanced bronchoscopic and pleural procedures, including endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), navigational bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, and pleural interventions.

We train interventional pulmonologists who are not only technically exceptional, but academically driven: physicians ready to lead, innovate, and advance the field. Accepting one fellow each year, our program offers a close-knit, mentorship-focused environment within a nationally recognized academic medical center, giving trainees outstanding procedural volume, research opportunities, and direct faculty access.

If you are a pulmonary and critical care physician committed to clinical excellence and academic impact, we invite you to explore what MUSC has to offer.
