Job description

About the Job

The Department of Medicine's Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine (PACCS) seeks an Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor faculty on the Academic or Clinical Track. As a Division, with more than 80 faculty based at four principal hospital sites, we proudly feature nationally recognized programs and leaders in Interstitial Lung Disease, COPD, Lung Transplantation, Critical Care Medicine (Respiratory Failure & ARDS), Cystic Fibrosis, Interventional Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. We strive to find new treatments and cures for diseases in these areas through basic, clinical and “big data” research, while working to prevent respiratory illness. We partner with faculty across the University and colleagues in the community in our research, clinical, education and training efforts.

The Interventional Pulmonology Program is a high-volume, comprehensive multidisciplinary center supported by six AABIP-certified faculty members. It offers a broad spectrum of advanced procedures, including more than 200 rigid bronchoscopies annually, robotic bronchoscopy across three system hospitals, and lung volume reduction, with a total procedural volume exceeding 1,200 cases per year. The program faculty is expert on taking care of subglottic stenosis and airway complications of lung transplantation. The program serves a wide referral base from Minnesota and neighboring states and manages approximately 3,000 clinic visits annually across five dedicated Interventional Pulmonology clinic locations, supported by two specialized RNNCs. Dedicated operating room time is consistently maintained at three system hospitals, ensuring procedural efficiency and accessibility. Established in 2016, the University of Minnesota Interventional Pulmonology Fellowship is ACGME-accredited and attracts highly competitive candidates each year. The program emphasizes strong multidisciplinary collaboration, maintaining close working relationships with Otolaryngology (ENT), Thoracic Surgery, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and Chest Radiology.

M Health and Clinical Partnerships Providers practice at affiliated locations under the M Health Fairview shared care delivery system. This partnership represents a collaboration between University of Minnesota Physicians (M Physicians), University of Minnesota Medical Center and Fairview Health Services to build a nationally recognized academic health system that combines academic and community resources to provide the very best clinical care to patients and communities, while also supporting research and education across the joint healthcare delivery system.

M Physicians M Physicians is the multi-specialty group practice for the University of Minnesota Medical School faculty clinicians, community-practice clinicians, advanced practice providers, and healthcare professionals. We serve the land grant mission of the University by providing high quality specialty and primary care, innovative and leading‑edge cures and treatments, and access to the latest evidence-based care to patients across the state of Minnesota and beyond.

Primary Responsibilities

This academic or clinical track faculty member will devote at least 85% effort (90‑100% if clinical track) to providing high quality clinical care, general pulmonary and interventional pulmonary (majority of cFTE), with some concurrent education of trainees. The remaining 15% (if academic track) effort will be dedicated to education and collaborative research activities with the expectation of demonstrated accomplishments consistent with promotion in the academic track (an average of at least one publication per year, for example). The clinical activity will be at University of Minnesota Medical Center (Hospital and Clinics and Surgery Center) and will include time at one or more other Fairview Hospitals and Clinics. The faculty will participate actively and contribute to PACCS Division and Department of Medicine academic and clinical programs in pulmonary and critical care. It is strongly encouraged that faculty develop an area of focus and expertise, gradually developing a regional and then national reputation in Interventional Pulmonology. Faculty would participate actively in the relevant multi‑disciplinary programs. Faculty will be expected to participate in multi‑investigator research studies and grants related to Interventional Pulmonology and/or other Division and Department research projects. Clinical effort may be reduced with participation in salary‑supported activities (research, program leadership, etc). Active participation in the Division's clinical and research conferences, journal club and core curriculum lectures and teaching of students, residents and fellows is expected. Experience and skills in education and/or clinical research are desirable.
