What is an internship pulmonologist?

Internship Pulmonologists are medical graduates undergoing specialized training in pulmonary medicine as part of their postgraduate internship or residency. They work under the supervision of experienced pulmonologists to learn how to diagnose, treat, and manage diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. During their internship, they gain hands-on experience with procedures such as bronchoscopy and pulmonary function tests, and manage patients with conditions like asthma, COPD, and pneumonia. This training is essential for becoming a fully qualified pulmonologist.

What does an internship pulmonologist do?

As an Internship Pulmonologist, you can expect to participate in a variety of tasks, including taking patient histories, performing physical exams, assisting in bronchoscopy procedures, interpreting pulmonary function tests, and managing patients with respiratory conditions under supervision. You'll also attend multidisciplinary team meetings and collaborate with nurses, respiratory therapists, and senior physicians. This hands-on experience is designed to build your clinical skills and prepare you for more advanced roles in pulmonary medicine.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an internship pulmonologist?

To thrive as an Internship Pulmonologist, you need a solid grounding in internal medicine, respiratory system knowledge, and completion of a medical degree with relevant internship or residency experience. Familiarity with pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy equipment, and hospital information systems is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set candidates apart in this field. These competencies ensure accurate diagnosis, effective patient care, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in managing complex pulmonary conditions.

Job description

This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP), a student loan payment reimbursement program. You must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy & submit your EDRP application within 4 months of appointment. Program Approval, award amount (up to $200,000) & eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application. Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply.Qualifications:To qualify for this position, you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation.
Basic Requirements:
  • United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy.
  • Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine. The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed.
  • Current, full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State, Territory, or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia.
  • Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training, approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:
    • (1) Those approved by the accrediting bodies for graduate medical education, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA), in the list published for the year the residency, or fellowship if applicable, was completed; OR
    • (2) One year of post medical school training (internship, first year of residency, or transitional year residency) approved by ACGME or AOA followed by two years of post-training independent practice (performing under a full and unrestricted license) in the United States; OR
    • (3) Non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of three years of verified independent practice in the United States (performing under a full and unrestricted license) performing duties related to the position they are applying for (United States fellowships would be creditable towards this requirement), which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the Physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences.
    • Exceptions:
      • Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as "Physician Resident Providers" (PRPs). PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e., not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent basis. PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged; rather, they are to have a "scope of practice" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision. Additionally, surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs.
      • In rare and unusual circumstances, the Facility Director can submit a memo to the VISN Director through the VISN Chief Medical Officer, who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to the residency training requirement for Physicians whose composite record of experience, accomplishments, performance, and qualifications warrant such action.
  • Proficiency in spoken and written English.
Preferred Experience:
  • Capable of managing a broad specialty pulmonary clinic, pulmonary consultation, and critical care medicine, with interest in having bronchoscopy as a regular part of their role.
  • Capabilities in Navigational Bronchoscopy and EBUS Bronchoscopy
  • Board Certification
