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

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
