During my pediatric training was got my first encounter with cystic fibrosis care and under supervision of Dr. Epstein and CF center and I was introduced to management, care and clinical research in CF. I presented an abstract examining the relationship between sleep quality and pulmonary function in children and young adults with Cystic fibrosis at American Thoracic Society Conference. My interest in pediatric pulmonary disease was evident and I decided to continue my training to become a Pediatric Pulmonologist. During fellowship interviews, I looked for a program that offer comprehensive clinical experience and high involve in research with support and mentoring needed to improve my skills and facilitate my transition to a career as a physician-scientist. I was honored to be accepted as Pediatric Pulmonary fellow at Yale University and new chapter of my medical career began. This program offers multiple possibilities for research especially laboratory investigation in cystic fibrosis. I am glad for the opportunity and I cannot think a better place for me to fulfill my goals and
