Welcome to Penn State Hershey Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine

This division of medicine combines pulmonary and critical care medicine and it offers care for acute and chronic pulmonary disorders. The pulmonary service evaluates patients with sleep apnea, asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung disease and lung cancer, as well as patients with a cough. Patients may be evaluated in the clinic as outpatients or during a hospital stay. Pulmonary diagnostic laboratory staff can measure lung function and offer exercise testing and stimulation of the lower respiratory tract. We take care of critically ill patients, including care of patients with multi-system disease and organ failure and management of sepsis and shock.

In the presence of faculty, friends and peers, current graduate students were invited to be the first to recite the Graduate Student Oath. Then incoming students received their first white laboratory coat, a symbol of their entrance into the biomedical research profession.   Learn More >>

"Without a doubt, I would not be where I am today without the training and guidance I received at Penn State  College of Medicine. The curriculum, laboratory training, and scientific interactions I experienced during my graduate training prepared me well for a career in academic research."
