You will work directly alongside expert interventional pulmonologists while collaborating with one of the nation's premier Pulmonary Fellowship Programs, providing a unique blend of academic engagement, clinical excellence, and cutting-edge pulmonary care.

As our program continues to expand, you'll play an integral role in building new services, developing innovative care pathways, and growing a comprehensive Lung Nodule Program that is transforming lung cancer detection and management throughout the region.

• Develop meaningful patient relationships while practicing with a high level of autonomy and physician collaboration.
• Help lead and grow a comprehensive Lung Nodule and Lung Cancer Screening Program.
• Strong mentorship, professional development, and opportunities to expand procedural knowledge.

• Evaluate patients before and after procedures, coordinating laboratory testing, imaging studies, and treatment plans.
• Perform comprehensive assessments, formulate management plans, and provide longitudinal pulmonary care.
• Manage patients independently while collaborating closely with physicians and multidisciplinary specialists.
• Coordinate care across outpatient and hospital settings to ensure seamless patient experiences.

Inpatient & Consultative Services

• Conduct daily inpatient rounds and follow hospitalized pulmonary patients.
• Evaluate and manage pulmonary consults from inpatient units and the Emergency Department.
• Collaborate with hospitalists, intensivists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and primary care providers to optimize patient outcomes.
• Facilitate smooth care transitions and comprehensive discharge planning.

Lung Nodule Program

• Serve as a key member of a growing multidisciplinary Lung Nodule Program.
• Evaluate and manage patients with incidental and screening-detected pulmonary nodules.
• Coordinate timely diagnostic workups, imaging surveillance, specialty referrals, and procedural interventions.
• Participate in multidisciplinary lung nodule conferences and thoracic oncology tumor boards.
• Guide patients through complex diagnostic and treatment pathways while providing education and support.
