A Different Kind of Fellowship

Located at Mary Washington Hospital — a 437-bed regional medical center serving the Northern Virginia and Rappahannock corridor — our program offers something that large academic centers rarely can: every fellow knows every attending, and teaching is never diluted by volume or hierarchy.

The closed MICU model means fellows function as primary team leaders under direct attending supervision from their first week. There is no transition period. The learning is immediate, the feedback is direct, and the responsibility is real.

The interventional pulmonology program — with EBUS, robotic navigational bronchoscopy (Ion, Monarch), medical thoracoscopy, and endobronchial valve placement — is embedded across all three years, giving fellows primary operator experience that most community programs cannot offer.
