The modules are comprised of independent readings, didactic instruction, and integrated learning projects with opportunities for teaching, research and community service. These modules compliment weekly mentored advanced clinical practice in the area of cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy across settings.

It is important to remember that each program will have its own deadline for completed applications. An applicant must narrow down his or her choices, if not initially, at least when the time to interview comes around. Exploring options in advance will help minimize costs associated with interviewing and maximize the chances of matching with the program that is best for you.

First, it is important to identify what you want from a training program. Are you planning an academic career or a future in community practice?

Do you want a large program with multiple hospitals or a smaller or single-institution program? What type of research do you want to do? Are you willing to go anywhere if the training is excellent or are you limited in terms of where you are willing to live? Once you have identified the type of program that fits your needs, begin to research your options. Ask Pulmonary faculty in your residency training program.

Start with the faculty you will be asking for letters of reference. If you are interested in a particular program, try to speak with someone who trained there. Remember that you will be sampling local opinions. Ask current fellows. Ask them where they interviewed and what their impressions were.

Request information. When you contact programs for applications, you will generally receive additional information about the institution and training program. If you have specific questions, contact the program director. Visit the division or program website. This site provides direct links to many Division and program websites. Programs will invite only candidates that they feel have a reasonable chance of matching with them. The interview process offers candidates a chance to directly assess individual programs.

The interview process is vital to finding a fellowship that not only provides you with the kind of training you are seeking but is also a place you are glad to be working. During the interview you should meet not only with faculty members but with one or more current fellows. Do some research before you visit a program. If there are faculty members doing clinical work or research of particular interest to you, ask specifically to meet with them. If you know of fellows who came from your residency program, contact them.

In addition to asking specific questions, also try to get a general feel for the program and whether you think you would fit in. Remember, you will spending at least three years in a program and you should feel comfortable working with the people there. After you have interviewed at all of the programs you are considering, you will need to complete your rank list and submit it to the National Residency Matching Program.
