“The Match for our 2023 incoming class was fantastic!  We had a busy recruitment season, interviewed many strong candidates and matched with applicants from across the country as well as 2 internal candidates.  We are really looking forward to the new academic year and know they will add to the already amazing group of fellows we have currently.  We are fortunate to have such great applicants.” -Ashley Henderson, MD, Director of the Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Training Program

“Interview season is a very busy time of the year, we received a lot of applicants this year and we would have been happy with any of people we interviewed.  However, I must say we are thrilled about the match results in both of our programs. We are excited to have our new fellows start and become a part of our great Division” -Melissa Lawrence, Pulmonary Diseases & Critical Care  Medicine Fellowship Coordinator

“Thanks to the team’s efforts, the Interventional Pulmonology match was outstanding. We matched Dr. Maxwell Diddams to our program.

We are very proud of them both.” -Jason Akulian, MD, MPH, Director of the Interventional Pulmonary Fellowship Program

“With each year of virtual interviewing, we have tried to optimize the process to best represent our fellows, our faculty, and the range of opportunities that we have to offer applicants. For this recruitment season, we added breakout rooms to showcase the clinical and translational research occurring within adult and pediatric allergy that applicants could potentially get involved with as fellows. The applicants were some of the strongest we have seen in recent years and we are extremely excited to have Dr. Mayuran Ravindran from Emory University and Dr. Nonie Arora from the University of Michigan joining us for the upcoming class. Go Heels!” -Edwin Kim, MD, MS, Director of the Allergy & Immunology Training Program
