Family Medicine Residency Pulmonology Rotation Kevin Wheatley, M.D. Rotation Goal Family Medicine residents receive instruction in pulmonary diseases incorporated within their Family Medicine rotations, and especially as a part of the onemonth required rotation in critical care. Please see the ICU curriculum for pulmonary concepts and procedures covered during the critical care rotation. Lectures on common pulmonary problems are also incorporated into the noon conference and mini-seminar schedule. The residents gain experience with pulmonary diseases through their outpatient experiences in the Family Practice Center Clinic and with the Jackson Clinic Pulmonologists. If residents desire additional experience in pulmonology, they may choose to do an elective in pulmonology during their third year in residency as well. During this elective, residents will interact with physicians subspecializing in pulmonology to familiarize themselves with the impact of pulmonary illness and dysfunction in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Supervision Direct observation is provided by supervising physicians. Supervising physicians include Robert Gilroy, MD, William Mariencheck, MD, and Jeff McCartney, MD. Rotation Objectives By the end of the Pulmonology rotation, PGY II & III residents are expected to expand and cultivate skills and knowledge learned during previous training and to achieve the following objectives based on the six general competencies. The resident should exhibit an increasing level of responsibility and independency as he or she progresses throughout the year.
