Pulmonologist / Sleep Medicine Physician — Union Square, Manhattan
Outpatient only. No ICU. No nights. No hospital call. Flexible Schedule.
What You Will Actually Do
Outpatient pulmonary and sleep medicine, in a practice that already has the patients and the equipment waiting for you.
- Evaluation and management of obstructive and restrictive lung disease, asthma, COPD, chronic cough, dyspnea, ILD, and post-viral respiratory disease
- Sleep consultations, home sleep apnea testing interpretation, PAP titration and adherence management, and complex OSA follow-up
- PFT and DLCO interpretation on in-house equipment — no outsourcing, no waiting on an outside lab
- Building the diagnostic and treatment protocols the program runs on
- Working alongside cardiology, neurology, interventional pain, and primary care in the same building, not across a referral network
The Infrastructure Is Already Built
This is the part most postings gloss over. You are not being asked to build a program from an empty room.
- Pulmonary function testing and DLCO on site
- Home sleep apnea testing program already running
- CPAP/PAP management workflow with adherence tracking
- In-house diagnostics: ultrasound, EKG, telemetry, allergy testing, cardiopulmonary testing
- athenaOne EMR with AI-assisted documentation — you finish your notes in clinic, not at 11 p.m.
- In-network with all major payers — credentialing support handled by our team, not by you
Where Your Patients Come From
The hardest year of any new specialist's career is the first one, waiting for a panel to fill. That is the problem we have already solved.
Umbrella Health runs active primary care, cardiology, neurology, interventional pain, and medical weight management service lines under one roof. The referral volume for sleep-disordered breathing, dyspnea workups, obesity-hypoventilation, and pre-procedural pulmonary clearance is already being generated internally — currently going out the door to other practices.
You are being hired to capture it. Panel maturity here is measured in months, not years.
Who We Are Looking For
Required
- BC/BE in Pulmonary Medicine, or BC/BE in Sleep Medicine with pulmonary training
- Active or eligible for New York State medical license
- Comfort practicing at the top of your license in an outpatient setting
Strongly preferred
- Board certification or fellowship training in Sleep Medicine
- Interest in program development, not just clinical throughput
We actively want to hear from:
- Recent fellowship graduates who want a real base salary and an equity path instead of an academic instructor line
- Established pulmonologists who are done with ICU call and want their evenings back
- Physicians who want part-time sessions at a real hourly rate while keeping another appointment
Why Physicians Take This Job
You are joining owners, not administrators. Umbrella Health is physician-owned and physician-run. Decisions about scheduling, panel size, visit length, and equipment get made by people who see patients.
Your schedule is yours. Four clinical days is standard for full-time. Compressed schedules, four-day weeks, and part-time sessions are all real options, not exceptions we grudgingly allow.
You will build something with your name on it. The sleep program is not fully built. Whoever takes this role shapes the protocols, the testing pathways, and the growth plan — and is paid a directorship stipend to do it.
Union Square. Steps from the 4/5/6, L, N/Q/R/W, and F/M. One of the highest-density, highest-demand catchment areas in the country for exactly this specialty.
Location & Format
32 West 14th Street, Union Square, Manhattan On-site clinical practice.
Confidential inquiries welcome. If you are currently employed and want to understand the numbers before anything else happens, we will walk you through the full compensation model on a first call — including the productivity formula, in writing.

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, US Department of Veterans Affairs, and OneOncology, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 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, New York, and Buffalo 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 August 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.
