The Interventional Pulmonologist serves as a full-time, clinical-track faculty member within the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Jackson Memorial Health System. The position is jointly embedded within the Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) and the Lung Center at Jackson Memorial, reflecting the dual programmatic mission of supporting a high-volume lung transplant program and a comprehensive lung nodule and thoracic oncology service. The incumbent will deliver the full spectrum of advanced interventional pulmonology care, encompassing complex bronchoscopic procedures, central airway management, pleural interventions, and multidisciplinary procedural support. In addition to the primary clinical mission, the position carries defined academic, educational, and administrative responsibilities consistent with a faculty appointment at a major academic medical center. Organizational Relationships The faculty member reports directly to the Program Director of the Lung Center and Lung Transplant Program at Jackson Memorial Health System. The Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) and the Lung Center at Jackson Memorial constitute a unified programmatic structure, and this position operates across both missions as a single integrated appointment. The role functions within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and maintains close working relationships with Thoracic Surgery, Lung Transplant Surgery, Transplant Pulmonology, Medical and Thoracic Oncology, Interventional Radiology, and Pathology. The faculty member is responsible for the direct supervision and mentorship of Pulmonary and Critical Care fellows, internal medicine residents, and medical students rotating through the interventional pulmonology service. Minimum Qualifications Clinical Expertise Demonstrated competency in advanced bronchoscopic procedures is required, including flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, airway stenting, tumor debulking, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction, and pleuroscopy. Experience in the pre- and post-procedural management of lung transplant candidates and recipients, and familiarity with the multidisciplinary evaluation of indeterminate pulmonary nodules, are strongly preferred. Clinical Duties and Responsibilities Bronchoscopic and Procedural Services The incumbent will independently perform and supervise the full range of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic and pleural procedures appropriate to a high-volume academic interventional pulmonology program. Procedures are performed across the bronchoscopy suite and operating room, with complexity and modality determined by clinical indication. The faculty member is expected to maintain procedural proficiency across the scope of contemporary interventional pulmonology practice, including advanced bronchoscopic techniques for airway evaluation and management, tissue sampling, and therapeutic intervention. Inpatient Consultative Service The faculty member will provide daily inpatient consultative services at Jackson Memorial Health System, encompassing the evaluation and management of complex pulmonary conditions requiring interventional expertise. Consult rounds are conducted each weekday morning and serve as the primary mechanism for inpatient case identification, procedural planning, and continuity of care for hospitalized patients. Outpatient Subspecialty Clinic The faculty member will maintain a dedicated outpatient interventional pulmonology clinic, providing consultative evaluation, procedural planning, and post-procedural follow-up for patients referred from thoracic oncology, transplant pulmonology, primary pulmonology, and other subspecialty services within the Jackson Memorial Health System network. Lung Transplant Program Support A defined component of this position is dedicated to the bronchoscopic support of the Lung Transplant Program at the Miami Transplant Institute and Lung Center at Jackson Memorial. The faculty member will provide bronchoscopic services for lung transplant recipients as clinically indicated, including surveillance bronchoscopy and management of post-transplant pulmonary and airway complications. The faculty member will serve as a core procedural resource for the transplant team and will engage with the broader multidisciplinary lung transplant clinical structure as appropriate. Multidisciplinary Tumor Board and Lung Nodule Clinic The faculty member will serve as the interventional pulmonology representative on the Thoracic Oncology Multidisciplinary Tumor Board and will actively participate in the Lung Nodule Clinic. These activities involve procedural planning and coordination for patients with thoracic malignancies and indeterminate pulmonary nodules, and are conducted in close collaboration with Thoracic Surgery, Oncology, Interventional Radiology, and Diagnostic Radiology. Academic and Educational Responsibilities Consistent with a faculty appointment at an academic medical center, the faculty member is expected to contribute meaningfully to the teaching and training mission of the Division. The primary educational role encompasses direct supervision and mentorship of Pulmonary and Critical Care fellows and internal medicine residents rotating through the interventional pulmonology service, bronchoscopy skills training and simulation-based procedural education, participation in weekly divisional didactic conferences, and case-based teaching in the bronchoscopy suite and operating room. The faculty member will additionally contribute to the development and implementation of the planned Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship program, including participation in curriculum design, trainee case log oversight, and structured competency assessment. Engagement in departmental Grand Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality conferences, quality improvement education, and scholarly activities including peer-reviewed publication is encouraged and supported. Academic and educational activities collectively constitute five percent of total effort for this position. Effort Distribution Clinical activities constitute the primary commitment of this appointment, accounting for ninety percent of total full-time equivalent (FTE). Academic and educational responsibilities and administrative duties each account for five percent of total effort. These allocations will be reviewed annually with the Program Director and are subject to adjustment based on program growth, evolving clinical volume, and institutional need.
