Tips for Your Pulmonary Physician Job Search

Align your CV to the practice setting

Hospital-employed roles prioritize inpatient volume metrics and EMR proficiency, while private practice listings weight procedural breadth. Tailor your CV summary to reflect the specific setting you're targeting so hiring committees see an immediate fit.

Highlight your board certification status clearly

Most listings require ABIM certification in Pulmonary Disease, with many also requiring Critical Care Medicine certification. State your certification status and exam year near the top of your CV so it's never buried in a dense credentials section.

Filter openings by procedural scope

Bronchoscopy, EBUS, thoracentesis, and mechanical ventilation management are listed as required skills at varying frequencies. Search for roles that match your procedural training, and flag any gaps before applying so you can address them in your cover letter.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists pulmonary physician openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

Prepare for a multi-stage interview format

Pulmonary physician interviews typically include a department chair meeting, a case-based clinical discussion, and a separate credentialing or compliance review. Prepare a concise case presentation that demonstrates both diagnostic reasoning and your approach to complex ventilator management.

Negotiate call schedule before you sign

ICU and inpatient call obligations vary widely and directly affect quality of life. Ask for the exact call structure, nocturnist coverage availability, and how after-hours coverage is distributed among the group before entering formal contract negotiations.

Pulmonary Physician Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most pulmonary physicians?

The companies hiring the most pulmonary physicians right now include US Department of Veterans Affairs, SSM Health, and CommonSpirit Health, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Health system consolidation has driven much of the demand, with large employed-medicine groups posting the highest volume of openings.

How many pulmonary physician jobs are remote?

About 10% of pulmonary physician openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the procedure-heavy and inpatient nature of the specialty. Telehealth options are most common in outpatient follow-up care, sleep medicine consultations, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease management, where in-person procedures are not required for every visit.

How do you become a pulmonary physician?

You complete a four-year medical degree, followed by a three-year internal medicine residency, and then a two- to three-year fellowship in pulmonary disease or combined pulmonary and critical care medicine. After fellowship, you pass ABIM board exams in your specialty area, obtain a state medical license, and complete hospital credentialing before practicing independently.

How do you get hired as a pulmonary physician with limited experience?

Focus on roles at academic medical centers or teaching hospitals, which are more likely to hire physicians finishing fellowship and value research or case volume over years of attending experience. Emphasize fellowship procedural numbers, any publications or presentations, and strong references from your fellowship program director, as these carry significant weight when attending experience is limited.

What does the pulmonary physician interview process look like?

The process typically begins with a phone or video screening with a physician recruiter or department administrator, followed by an on-site visit that includes meetings with the division chief, department chair, and potential colleagues. You'll often present a clinical case or research topic, tour inpatient and outpatient facilities, and meet with a contracts or compliance representative before receiving an offer.

Where can I find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs?

You can find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Find roles that match your training, practice setting preference, and location, and apply directly to each listing without leaving the platform.
