The one-year Addiction Medicine Fellowship aims to train a new generation of clinical leaders, educators, and researchers dedicated to improving the lives and health of underserved populations disproportionately affected by drug and alcohol use disorders. Fellows who complete the program are eligible to take the American Board of Preventive Medicine’s Addiction Medicine Certification Exam. Those who wish to pursue National Institutes of Health–funded careers and who are seeking master’s-level training in health service research may choose to participate in a two-year MS in Clinical Investigation program through NYU Langone’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute.

The two-year General Internal Medicine Fellowship is designed for physicians who are committed to careers in academic general medicine and who wish to conduct research focused on improving the quality, safety, equity, and effectiveness of care in our communities. The fellowship prepares physicians for careers in health services and medical education research as well as leadership roles in general internal medicine. Those who complete the program also receive either a MS in Clinical Investigation or a Master of Health Professions Education, gain experience teaching internal medicine residents and medical students, and practice outpatient general internal medicine at an NYU Langone clinical location.

Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care Fellowships

The Division of Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care offers several fellowship options. Our Geriatric Medicine Fellowship prepares internists and family physicians to care for older adults and to develop the skills necessary to be clinician educators or research investigators. Fellows perform rotations in outpatient and inpatient geriatric care, nursing homes, the homes of patients, geriatric psychiatry facilities, and home- and facility-based palliative care settings.

The Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship provides palliative care physicians with the skills to improve the quality of life for patients and families facing serious and life-threatening illnesses.

The Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology offers a fellowship to train academic physicians in general hematology and medical oncology with concentrations in clinical care and research. Fellows rotate for 18 months through a combination of inpatient and outpatient clinical settings, including independent continuity clinics, followed by 18 months of research time.

Fellows gain clinical experience diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of malignant and benign hematological conditions and solid tumors at our three unique teaching sites. Specific subspecialty training is provided in breast and gynecologic oncology, gastrointestinal oncology, genitourinary cancer and melanoma, hematology, neurology and sarcoma, thoracic malignancies, head and neck cancers, and radiation oncology. Potential areas for research include cancer stem cell biology, immunology, epidemiology and cancer control, and environmental and molecular carcinogenesis.

Infectious Diseases and Immunology Fellowships

The Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology offers a fellowship to train leaders in the research, clinical care, and prevention of infectious disease. In the two-year clinical program, fellows are trained in the inpatient and outpatient diagnosis and management of general infectious diseases and HIV primary care.

You may also pursue concentrated clinical and research experiences in antimicrobial stewardship, HIV, hospital epidemiology, quality management, transplant infectious diseases, and viral hepatitis. A third-year advanced research fellowship is offered for those trainees who are pursuing careers as physician–scientists.

Nephrology Fellowship

The Nephrology Fellowship is a two-year comprehensive training program in all aspects of clinical and academic nephrology. Fellows rotate on the consult service at Bellevue and the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System and on the transplant service at Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion.

You perform consults on all services and learn to care for patients with end-stage renal disease who receive hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis for outpatients with all forms of chronic kidney disease. This includes learning to perform and interpret renal biopsies and caring for patients in the intensive care unit.

You become proficient in managing all forms of renal replacement therapy for patients with acute kidney injury and in diagnosing and treating acid–base and electrolyte disorders. You also participate in all phases of kidney transplant care, from the evaluation of recipients and living donors to the management of the immediate post-transplant period and long-term follow-up.

During your second year, you perform research under the mentorship of a faculty member and participate in a quality and safety project. By the end of the fellowship, you are prepared to enter clinical practice, become a clinician–educator, or pursue additional training in research or specialized areas of nephrology such as transplantation.

Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine Fellowships

The Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine offers three fellowship experiences—a Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship, a Sleep Medicine Fellowship, and an Interventional Pulmonary Fellowship.

Our Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship provides physicians with training that refines their skills in the inpatient and outpatient management of a broad spectrum of lung physiology, pathology, chest imaging, and pulmonary procedures. You learn to care for a wide and expansive range of pulmonary and critical care disorders in a diverse patient population with rotations at four hospitals. You gain critical care experience not only in medical critical care, but also in cardiothoracic and surgical critical care. With access to two simulation labs and advanced ultrasound equipment, you learn to perform all critical care procedures, as well as bronchoscopy and pleural procedures.

Our Sleep Medicine Fellowship trains physicians to diagnose and manage sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder, parasomnia, and restless leg syndrome. You gain experience scoring and interpreting in-lab polysomnography, home-based sleep testing, multiple sleep latency testing, maintenance of wakefulness testing, and actigraphy. You also complete clinical rotations in neurology, pulmonary function testing, pediatrics, otolaryngology, and sleep dentistry.

Our Interventional Pulmonary Fellowship provides physicians with training in interventional procedures such as advanced bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, and advanced pleural procedures. You work with a team of experienced interventional pulmonologists in the thoracic oncology division and gain exposure to patients with an extensive array of diseases.

Rheumatology Fellowship

The Division of Rheumatology offers a fellowship to train leaders in the research, clinical care, and prevention of musculoskeletal and autoimmune diseases. Fellows can pursue two distinct pathways based on their interests: a clinical track or a research track.

Fellows on both tracks provide inpatient and outpatient consultations for patients with rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and lupus; vasculitis, autoimmune myositis, and systemic sclerosis; osteoporosis; osteoarthritis and crystal arthritis; and dermatologic conditions related to connective tissue disorders. Both hospital and ambulatory care are emphasized.

You participate in conferences that focus on the clinical presentation, epidemiology, and diagnosis of these diseases; clinical and molecular pathophysiology; pharmacology and treatment; and research methodologies in basic and clinical research. You also complete an extensive clinical or basic research project during your second year.

Those on the research track extend training for an additional one to two years, with an emphasis on preparing for independent research careers. Fast-track training for our dual MD/PhD degree and predoctoral T32 training grants are available to select candidates.
