Pulmonologist Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a pulmonologist in New York?
To practice as a pulmonologist in New York, you must hold an active physician license issued by the New York State Education Department, which requires completing medical school, a residency in internal medicine, and a fellowship in pulmonary disease or pulmonary and critical care medicine. Board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine in Pulmonary Disease is a near-universal hiring requirement across New York health systems. Most large employers also require a separate New York State controlled substance registration.
How much do pulmonologists make in New York?
Pulmonologists in New York earn a median of about $242,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $86,250 for the lowest 10% to over $414,440 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire pulmonologists in New York?
Employers hiring pulmonologists in New York right now include Essen Health Care and NYU Langone Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's high concentration of academic medical centers and large regional health systems means many openings come with teaching responsibilities and research affiliations alongside clinical duties.
Which New York cities have the most pulmonologist jobs?
Bronx, Manhattan, and New York have the most pulmonologist openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its density of academic medical centers, major hospital systems, and specialized respiratory programs, while Buffalo and Rochester draw demand from their own large regional health systems and university-affiliated hospitals that serve significant patient populations across western and central New York.
Are there remote pulmonologist jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Pulmonology is a hands-on specialty that depends heavily on direct patient procedures, imaging interpretation at the bedside, and ICU management, so fully remote roles are limited. About 0% of pulmonologist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026. The portions of the role most suited to remote work are telehealth follow-up visits, outpatient consultations for stable chronic conditions, and second-opinion reading of pulmonary function studies.
How can I get hired as a pulmonologist in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing your fellowship and applying to academic or community health system programs that specifically recruit new attendings, since most New York employers anticipate hiring physicians directly out of training. NYU Langone Health, Northwell Health, and NewYork-Presbyterian regularly post new attending positions that welcome fellowship graduates without independent practice experience. Applying with active New York licensure already in hand, ABIM board eligibility confirmed, and a clear subspecialty focus such as critical care or interventional pulmonology gives a strong advantage over candidates who have not yet completed those steps.
Where can I find and apply to pulmonologist jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to pulmonologist jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to New York locations. Search the listings to find roles that match your subspecialty, preferred setting, and geographic area within the state, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
