• Outpatient pulmonary clinic + Sleep Medicine growth opportunity with established diagnostic volume (PFTs, sleep studies)
• Weekday inpatient pulmonary consults coordinated with the on-duty intensivist (no overnight consult burden in the outpatient model)

Schedule

• Preferred outpatient model: 4-day workweek, 8-hour clinic shifts (typically 8:00a-5:00p); specific days can be finalized with you
• Built-in time off structure with a 48-week annual commitment at 1.0 FTE (high-FTE part-time options considered)

• 3,000/month benefits support stipend at 1.0 FTE (pro-rated) to build your own health, retirement, licensing, CME, and travel package
• 40,000 sign-on/retention bonus for 1.0 FTE (timing can be structured to support a move for the right fit)
• Malpractice coverage provided, including tail; leadership/directorship opportunities available with additional hourly pay

Candidate Requirements

• Board eligible/board certified in Pulmonary Medicine (Sleep Medicine interest strongly preferred)
• Comfort managing outpatient pulmonary disease with appropriate procedural familiarity (bronchoscopy exposure helpful)
• Ability to obtain and maintain medical licensure in both California and Nevada (cross-border practice footprint)
