Program Overview

The Pulmonary Medicine Fellowship at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is a comprehensive two-year training program accredited by the Emirati Board designed to provide the knowledge, skills and attitude required for a successful leadership career in both academic and clinical practice. Our state-of-the-art hospital allows us to provide outstanding clinical training throughout the two years of fellowship and allows for our fellows to leave as the best trained pulmonologists in the region.

We offer complex cases, procedural volume, dedicated faculty, and available research opportunities ensure that our fellows receive comprehensive training in all aspects of pulmonary medicine. We have the UAE’s only lung transplantation program as well as a comprehensive care cancer center which allows our fellows to gain invaluable experience in dealing with complex pulmonary problems.

The structure of our fellowship provides the opportunity for each fellow to grow personally and professionally and tailor their experience to their specific interests and goals.
