The Department of Respiratory Care at Inova Fairfax Hospital and Inova Fairfax Hospital for Children is presently accepting applications for this newly formed Respiratory Internship/Fellowship Program.
Internship and Fellowship Information
The 10-month Internship is designed to provide the highly motivated graduate RCP with clinical experiences that will considerably expand their knowledge and skills. Interns will complete comprehensive rotations through all the critical care areas and have the opportunity to select additional rotations through select areas of their choosing.
The 8-month Fellowship is designed for the practicing RCP who has over one year of post-graduate work experience and is looking to gain additional insight, training, and involvement in selected critical care areas. The Fellowship tracks include either adult critical care or pediatric/neonatal care.
The critical care focus of the program incorporates clinical and classroom education and is intended to serve as a springboard for professional development and leadership within Inova Health System and the respiratory professional community.
