The Divisions of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) and Allergy & Clinical Immunology (ACI) are two of thirteen divisions within the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School. The Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine includes over 80 instructional, clinical, and research track faculty, as well as clinical instructors and research fellows. PCCM supports a broad range of clinical activities, including high-acuity inpatient services across multiple units, advanced procedural programs, and outpatient care at several locations including the main campus, West Ann Arbor, Brighton, and Northville. The Division of Allergy & Clinical Immunology consists of 21 faculty members across clinical and research tracks, with expertise spanning adult and pediatric allergy, asthma, immunodeficiency, and related conditions. Together, the divisions support robust clinical operations, nationally recognized fellowship programs, and a growing research portfolio.
