Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible for certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in the subspecialty of Pulmonary Disease and the added qualification of Critical Care Medicine. Over the past 20 years, 95 percent of our graduates have passed the ABIM board examination in Pulmonary Disease, and all but one have passed the ABIM board examination in Critical Care Medicine.
