Patients in respiratory failure and multi-organ crisis need a physician who can decide fast lead a team and stay until the plan is working. This role puts you at the center of that care: you will shape outcomes in the ICU and clinic raise the standard of pulmonary practice and leave a measurable imprint on survival length of stay and how confidently families understand what comes next.

• Lead daily ICU rounds so that ventilator sepsis and shock plans are set documented and owned before noon with clear handoffs that reduce overnight escalations.
• Manage a pulmonary consult and clinic panel that shortens time-to-diagnosis for complex lung disease and cuts avoidable readmissions through tight follow-up.
• Perform and interpret core proceduresbronchoscopy airway management and critical-care ultrasoundwith complication rates at or below peer benchmarks.
• Direct multidisciplinary goals-of-care conversations so families leave with a documented plan aligned to the patients wishes within the first 48 hours of a high-acuity stay.
• Partner with nursing respiratory therapy and pharmacy to close protocol gaps in ventilation liberation sedation and DVT prophylaxis tracked monthly.
• Teach residents and advanced practice clinicians at the bedside so independent decision-making improves across the service within two quarters.
• Contribute to quality reviews that turn sentinel events and near misses into revised pathways adopted by the unit.

• You will practice inside a physician-led critical care and pulmonary service reporting to the medical director of critical care.
• The team includes intensivists pulmonologists respiratory therapists ICU nurses and care coordinators who share one daily huddle.
• You will have protected procedure time a modern ICU with bedside ultrasound and an EMR configured for ventilator and sepsis workflows.
• Administrative support covers scheduling credentialing and prior authorization so clinical time stays clinical.
• A defined quality budget funds protocol work simulation and conference time tied to your performance goals.

• Board certification or eligibility in Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine with an active unrestricted medical license.
• Demonstrated ICU leadership: you have run rounds owned ventilator strategy and closed the loop with nursing on the same shift.
• Procedural competence in bronchoscopy and airway management with a case log you can discuss.
• A record of improving a measurable outcomelength of stay ventilator days readmissions or complication ratesnot just participating in a committee.
• Clear communication with families and trainees under time pressure including documented goals-of-care practice.
• Eligibility for hospital privileges and a willingness to share call in a high-acuity unit.

• Authority to change unit protocols not just follow them with leadership that reviews results with you each quarter.
• A balanced mix of ICU consults and clinic so procedural skill and longitudinal pulmonary relationships both stay sharp.
• Teaching built into the day with learners assigned to your service rather than added as an afterthought.
• A recruiting partner who stays with you from first conversation through credentialing so the process does not stall your start.
