As ERAS is finally opened, I want to share my experience @BCM_Lung (with some numbers by the end of my first year). #pccmfellowship here will give you the opportunity to perform several procedures, in addition to bread and butter CVC and a-lines
airway management (15 intubations), bronchoscopy (51, being 15 TBBx), IPC (2), thoracentesis (6), chest tubes (7), RHC (3), LP (4). My continuity clinic has a mix of ILD, airway and vascular dz, TB/NTM and other infections, in two different settings ( @VAHouston and @harrishealth)
@CHI_StLukes we see lung tx (high volume center), with exposure to #DCD and #evlp. In addition to #ecmo, post heart transplant, #lvad ( @Texas_Heart is the pioneer), in addition to #nicu. @ivanorosas has done a phenomenal job as division chief and we’ve seen the results!
@VAHouston we have IP staff and opportunity to perform several #EBUS, endobronchial valves, rigid bronchoscopy among others with Dr Lazarus and Dr Bandi. If you love research, we have several opportunities with @Hananianick (world renowned asthma expert), @ivanorosas, Dr Guntupal
the QI queen @UmaAyyala, among others. @alapat_phil has been extremely supportive and has lead the fellowship program with significant improvements, with the help of APDs @DharaniNaren, Dr Sarkar, Dr Bujarski. Also, @CHI_StLukes is the only adult CF center #harriscounty
Just to share with you a little bit of my perception about @bcmhouston! I would strongly consider this program if you wanna be prepared to care for the sickest patients with compassion and be prepare to what the real world may present to you!
