Pulmonologist

Breathing is the difference between a life in motion and a life on hold. In this role, you will own the clinical outcomes of patients with complex lung and critical-care disease—from first consult through recovery—so families leave with a clear plan, not unanswered questions. You will set the standard for timely diagnosis, decisive intervention, and care that holds up when the night gets hard.

Performance Objectives

• Diagnose and treat a defined panel of pulmonary and critical-care patients so that treatment plans are started within the first visit and revised against measurable clinical goals.
• Lead ventilator and respiratory-failure decisions in the ICU, reducing avoidable complications and shortening time to liberation from mechanical support.
• Perform and interpret bronchoscopies and pulmonary function studies with documented accuracy, turning results into same-cycle treatment changes.
• Close the loop with primary care, oncology, and cardiology so referrals are answered, handoffs are complete, and no patient is lost between services.
• Build and run a lung-disease clinic pathway—COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, sleep-related breathing disorders—that cuts avoidable readmissions and ED returns.
• Teach residents, advanced practice clinicians, and respiratory therapists through bedside decisions they can repeat without you in the room.
• Contribute outcome data and case review that improve protocol adherence and patient-reported function within the first year.

Environment & Resources

• You will practice inside a multidisciplinary pulmonary and critical-care service, with dedicated respiratory therapy, procedural support, and a coordinated clinic schedule.
• Reporting line is to the physician leader for pulmonary and critical care, with shared on-call coverage designed so nights and weekends are sustainable.
• You will have access to bronchoscopy, pulmonary function testing, imaging, and an electronic record built for order sets, not workarounds.
• Protected time and staff support are available for clinic follow-up, documentation, and quality work tied to the objectives above.

Essential Qualifications

• M.D. or D.O. with board certification or active eligibility in Pulmonary Disease; Critical Care certification or eligibility strongly preferred.
• Unrestricted medical license, or eligibility to obtain one before start, and a clean, verifiable clinical record.
• Demonstrated independent management of ventilated patients and performance of diagnostic bronchoscopy.
• Track record of clinic ownership: timely notes, closed referrals, and outcomes you can describe with numbers, not adjectives.
• Clear communication with patients, families, and consulting teams under time pressure.
• Commitment to evidence-based protocols and to teaching the people who extend your reach.

Role Selling Points

• Real authority over diagnosis, procedures, and ICU decisions—not a narrow shift with someone else owning the outcome.
• A team structured so your expertise multiplies: respiratory therapy, advanced practice support, and consultants who answer.
• Work designed around measurable recovery—ventilator liberation, readmissions, and function—not volume for its own sake.
• A schedule and handoff model built to protect judgment, not exhaust it.
• A place where teaching and quality work count as part of the job, not after-hours charity.
