FELLOWS
Current Fellow Highlight
“There are a lot of reasons for you to consider the pulmonary and critical care fellowship program at UIC; the immense learning opportunities, the diversity of the patient population, the renowned faculty members, and the ample research prospects. The most important factor for me, besides all of these, was the fact that my education and my future are treated as a number one priority by this program. I have felt it is a place where learning and growth are nurtured and celebrated. I hope you will feel the same.”
Former Fellow Highlight
“UIC is the place where I became the kind of doctor that I looked up to during medical school and residency. A world-class clinical experience paired with research opportunities second to none; my fellowship experience was peppered with the kinds of opportunities I didn’t know were out there. I was able to review articles for major publications, attend national meetings, cultivate a myriad of publications (peer-reviewed manuscripts, reviews, editorials, and book chapters), network with internationally recognized experts, and attain the skills and achievements necessary to write successful grant proposals. The close-knit group of faculty and fellows allows personalization of your fellowship, ensuring that you meet the goals that you envision. I know I have!”

INSTRUCTIONS: In order to add a sidebar anchor:
- Duplicate the existing item, listed as a 1/6 text field. (Or create a 1/6 column and add a text field, modify the class so it’s exactly “additionalAnchor”).
- Modify the text field inside the 1/6 column. Inside there, modify the HYPERLINK so that it would go to a corresponding section with a “#” in front of it. (Example, we have a “chief” section on the page, then it would make sense to have the hyperlink go to “#chief”)
- Then change the hyperlink TEXT to a appropriate label.
- IMPORTANT: If not done already, go into that CONTAINER that corresponds to your anchor (i.e. Meet The Chiefs), and add an ID matching the anchor’s HYPERLINK WITHOUT the “#”, i.e. “chief”.
- (If using side bar widget box, then there’s a saved copy of a widget box COLUMN, grab it in the column library, it should 1/6 of a length of a column.)
NOTE: Order added to the sidebar is from last to first.
