Pulmonary Critical Care in Virginia

Carilion Clinic is seeking an additional Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician to expand its New River Valley practice. This is primarily a clinical position with responsibilities to cover the inpatient Critical Care and Pulmonary Consult services, as well as the outpatient Pulmonary clinic. There is also an opportunity to do some Sleep Medicine for those with appropriate qualifications. Additionally, from an academic point of view, the incoming physician will have the opportunity to get involved in the development and implementation of critical care and pulmonary rotations for medical residents and students. An academic appointment through one of our allied schools is also available.

Carilion New River Valley Hospital is a State-of-the Art modern facility that offers a wide array of services, including a full pulmonary function test laboratory, bronchoscopy, an advanced 12 bed Critical Care Unit and an accredited 4 bed Sleep center by the AASM. The outpatient Pulmonary clinic was recently relocated to a hospital attached facility that encompasses both the clinic and the Sleep Center in a setting that allows for excellent patient flow, with six exam rooms available. Interesting pathology is routinely seen, creating a challenging and learning environment. The incoming physician is expected to help develop multidisciplinary ICU rounds, as we implement a residency program and expand our hospitalist service. Additionally, the Carilion Clinic New River Valley physicians maintain a close relationship with our tertiary academic hospital in Roanoke (within a 45 minute drive), with access to teaching/case conferences and also opening a venue for additional subspecialty patient services that may not be readily available at New River Valley.

As a physician lead organization, Carilion will support your clinical endeavors taking into account your input, so that the practice can be run in an efficient manner. You will have the support of our staff and the guidance of the Section Chief and the New River Valley CEO, who is also a physician.
