Interventional Pulmonologist

Flexible Monday–Friday Schedule | 6 Weeks Off | 30 Minutes from Downtown Chicago | Munster, Indiana

A financially strong, established health system in Northwest Indiana is seeking a Board Certified or Board Eligible Interventional Pulmonologist to join a collegial and growing physician group in Munster, Indiana, just approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago.

This is a full-time, permanent employed opportunity combining both inpatient and outpatient Interventional Pulmonology. The position offers a flexible practice structure, only 2 clinic days per week, a shared call rotation, strong physician mentorship, and the ability to develop your practice around your own professional interests and goals.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Highly competitive and negotiable compensation based on MGMA guidelines
• Additional bonus structure
• Negotiable sign-on bonus
• 6 weeks of flexible time off
• Monday–Friday schedule
• Flexible work schedule
• Only 2 clinic days per week
• Combination of inpatient and outpatient practice
• 1:4 to 1:6 call rotation
• Opportunity to design your practice around your clinical interests
• Established group practice
• Supportive, collegial physician environment
• EPIC throughout inpatient and outpatient settings
• EPIC with AI functionality
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 403(b) with employer match
• Exceptional CME funding
• Licensure, DEA, CSR, professional dues, and subscription reimbursement
• Approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago
• Full-time, permanent employed position

Practice Opportunity

The incoming Interventional Pulmonologist will join a well-established physician group that is continuing to grow throughout Northwest Indiana.

The position has been structured to allow the physician to utilize the full breadth of their training while also providing flexibility to develop a practice aligned with their individual professional goals.

Practice Structure

• Full-time, permanent employment
• Inpatient and outpatient responsibilities
• Monday through Friday
• Flexible work schedule
• Clinic approximately 2 days per week
• Call rotation approximately 1:4 to 1:6
• Opportunity to incorporate subspecialty interests
• Group practice environment

The organization specifically encourages physicians to bring their individual clinical interests to the practice and provides the opportunity to shape the position around those goals.

Interventional Pulmonology

This opportunity is intended specifically for a physician with Interventional Pulmonology training, allowing the incoming physician to maintain a specialized procedural practice while participating in both inpatient and outpatient pulmonary care.

The health system describes the position as having a unique work structure designed to utilize the full range of the physician's skills, rather than limiting the role to a narrow clinic-based model.

Physician Support & Practice Development

You'll join a collegial group of established system physicians who are eager to provide:

• Physician mentorship
• Clinical collaboration
• Practice-development support
• Referral relationships
• Assistance building and growing your individual practice

The organization is backed by a financially strong health system with a long-tenured local leadership team, providing both the resources of a larger organization and the stability of experienced regional leadership.

Advanced Technology & EPIC

The health system utilizes EPIC EMR across both inpatient and outpatient settings, including AI functionality.

The organization is also described as a fully integrated HIMSS Stage VII system, a level of health-information technology sophistication achieved by a relatively small percentage of hospitals nationally.

For physicians, this provides a highly integrated clinical information environment across the continuum of care.

Compensation & Benefits

The organization offers a comprehensive employed physician compensation and benefits package, including:

• Highly competitive salary
• Compensation negotiable based on MGMA guidelines
• Additional bonus structure
• Negotiable sign-on bonus
• Medical insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
• Exceptional CME funding
• Medical license reimbursement
• CSR reimbursement
• DEA reimbursement
• Professional dues reimbursement
• Subscription reimbursement
• 6 weeks of flexible time off

Specific salary figures were not provided in the recruitment materials and will be negotiated based on qualifications and experience.

Qualifications

Candidates must be:

• MD or DO
• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Interventional Pulmonology
• Eligible for appropriate Indiana medical licensure
• Interested in both inpatient and outpatient practice
• Comfortable participating in a shared call rotation
• Interested in working within a collaborative physician group

Subspecialty interests are encouraged, with the opportunity to customize portions of the practice around the physician's individual interests and long‑term goals.

Start Timeline

The organization anticipates approximately 90–120 days for credentialing after an offer has been accepted.

This allows physicians planning a relocation or transitioning from another position time to complete licensing, credentialing, and onboarding requirements.

Live Near Chicago Without Practicing in the City

Located in Munster, Indiana, the practice is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, providing convenient access to one of the country's largest metropolitan areas without requiring physicians to work directly in the city.

The location provides access to Chicago's:

• World-renowned museums
• Restaurants and dining
• Professional sports
• Performing arts
• Cultural attractions
• Shopping
• Entertainment
• International travel connections

Physicians can enjoy the benefits of Northwest Indiana while maintaining easy access to everything Chicago offers.

The Opportunity

This position combines the specialty focus of Interventional Pulmonology with a flexible practice model and the stability of an established health system.

With a Monday–Friday flexible schedule, only 2 clinic days per week, 1:4–1:6 call, 6 weeks of time off, negotiable MGMA-based compensation, a negotiable sign-on bonus, and a location approximately 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, the opportunity provides a compelling balance of clinical complexity, professional flexibility, and quality of life.

For an Interventional Pulmonologist looking to build a long‑term practice while retaining the freedom to pursue specific clinical interests, this offers the ability to shape a practice around your skills and goals within a supportive, well-established physician network.
