Pulmonary Physician Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pulmonary physician in Texas?
To practice as a pulmonary physician in Texas, you must obtain an active Texas Medical License through the Texas Medical Board, which requires completion of medical school, residency in internal medicine, and a fellowship in pulmonary disease or pulmonary and critical care medicine. Most Texas employers also require board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine in the relevant subspecialty. You will also need a Texas Controlled Substances registration and a current DEA registration before seeing patients.
How much do pulmonary physicians make in Texas?
Pulmonary physicians in Texas earn a median of about $269,800 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,600 for the lowest 10% to over $457,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pulmonary physicians in Texas?
Employers hiring pulmonary physicians in Texas right now include CHRISTUS Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Tenet Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's large integrated health systems and academic medical centers generate the most consistent openings, particularly for physicians with critical care or interventional training.
Which Texas cities have the most pulmonary physician jobs?
The cities with the most pulmonary physician openings in Texas are Longview, Harlingen, and Fort Worth. Houston leads because of its dense concentration of academic medical centers and large hospital systems, Dallas draws demand from major multispecialty groups and UT Southwestern, and San Antonio benefits from a strong military medicine presence alongside large civilian health networks.
Are there remote pulmonary physician jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Pulmonary medicine is a hands-on specialty requiring direct patient assessment, procedures, and inpatient rounding, which limits fully remote opportunities. About 33% of pulmonary physician openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and these positions tend to involve telehealth follow-up visits, sleep study interpretation, or second-opinion consultations rather than full-scope clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a pulmonary physician in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a pulmonary or pulmonary and critical care fellowship at a Texas institution such as UT Southwestern, Baylor College of Medicine, or UT Health San Antonio, which often convert fellows directly into staff roles. Large Texas health systems also post new-graduate or first-year attending positions designed for physicians finishing training. Securing board eligibility, a clean Texas Medical Board license application, and procedure logs demonstrating bronchoscopy and critical care experience give candidates a strong edge at the application stage.
Where can I find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to pulmonary physician jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from hospitals, multispecialty groups, and academic medical centers across the state. Find the roles that fit your training and availability and apply directly through the listings.
