Physiology

Cardiopulmonary physiology is central to our curricula in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Our fellows have regular exposure to physiology experts at both MGH and BIDMC through a formal didactic series as well as during their regular rotations. Fellows have a dedicated month on our Physiology Rotation, where they are exposed to level 1-3 Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing and interpretation, as well as Pulmonary Function Testing and interpretation, and right heart catheterization performance and interpretation. Fellows receive training in sleep-study interpretation from our sleep medicine faculty at both institutions.
