Choi, MD (Course Director) is the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. Prior to his appointment as dean, he served as the Sanford I. Weill Chairman and Professor of Medicine in the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and as physician-in-chief of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He previously served as Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School (2007-2013) and Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (2000-2007). Dr. Choi served as the Program Director of T32 training programs focused in lung research training at both Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School and University of Pittsburgh, successfully renewing their T32 training grants in 2001 and 2006 (at University of Pittsburgh) and in 2010 (at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School). The Program Director has a longstanding commitment to the training of predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in lung diseases. The Program Director has been active nationally past 2 decades serving on task forces for the NIH and ATS, focusing on how to best train our fellows to enable them to pursue research focused careers and to become future leaders of academic pulmonary medicine. Dr. Choi also has helped to direct the T32 Directors annual meetings at the annual ATS conference serving as Director or Co-Director of the T32 Training Grant Directors annual meeting 2006-2011. During this meeting, directors of all the T32 and T35 training grants convened to discuss the critical issues related to the recruitment of the best trainees, training infrastructure, and the retention of these trainees in academic pulmonary medicine and biomedical research. The Lung Division of the NHLBI appointed Dr. Choi to direct a special NIH Task Force, with the charge of a comprehensive review of our training infrastructures, both Adult and Pediatrics, nationally among the T32 training grants. The major objective of the Task Force was to assess the best ways to attract and properly train fellows to pursue research careers in adult and pediatric lung disease. Dr. Choi led this Task Force and after working closely with senior leadership not only from the Lung Division/NHLBI/NIH but also working with leaders from ALA, AHA, PBF, AAAAI, AAM, CHEST Foundation, and ACP, published a manuscript with the leaders of Lung Division at NHLBI/NIH outlining the specific recommendations of how to best train our fellows to pursue research careers in lung disease (Choi AMK, et al. NHLBI Workshop: Respiratory Medicine-related research training for adult and pediatric fellows. Lung 2009 Nov-Dec;187(6):347- 66). Dr. Choi has mentored 50 trainees (MD-PhD, MD, PhD), and served as mentor/co-mentor for 20 K awardees for physician scientists. All of my trainees are in academic medicine except for one trainee in the pharmaceutical industry and one trainee in private practice during my tenure as mentor from 1995-present. Augustine M.K.
