Abstract
The advancement in lung transplantation outcomes has been secondary to ongoing improvements within multiple medical specialties. The recent emergence of literature describing the impact of anesthetic management on perioperative outcomes has led to the beginnings of formalized training fellowships within lung transplantation anesthesiology. Practical considerations for the development of a lung transplantation anesthesiology program, both clinical and educational, are herein described.
