Dr. Jankowich is a graduate of Dartmouth College and of the Ohio State University College of Medicine. He did his internship in internal medicine at the Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, CT and completed his residency in internal medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. He subsequently completed a fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brown University, performing research in the Vascular Research Laboratory at the Providence VA Medical Center. After graduating from his fellowship, he took a staff position at the Providence VA Medical Center, where he is co-director of the Pulmonary Hypertension clinic. Dr. Jankowich has interests in clinical pulmonary medicine as well as teaching and research. His clinical interests include lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, and the use of ultrasound in pulmonary medicine, including endobronchial ultrasound. He was a course director for the Pulmonary physiology and pathophysiology section of BIOL 3662 IMS III from 2009-2019. His research interests include pulmonary hypertension epidemiology, the COPD phenotype combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, and the study of the interactions between lung function and systemic and pulmonary vascular disease. Dr. Jankowich conducts his research at the Vascular Research Laboratory.
