CURAtive

Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Opportunity Just Outside of New Orleans

A growing Pulmonary & Critical Care program on Louisiana's Northshore is looking for a physician to help shape the next phase of its development. As the second physician in the program, you'll have meaningful input into the expansion of pulmonary services while benefiting from strong hospital support, established referral pathways, and a predictable 7-on/7-off schedule. The role also offers flexibility to incorporate outpatient pulmonary care and significant long-term earning potential.

Practice Overview

  • You'll join a growing Pulmonary & Critical Care team as the second physician in the program
  • Help develop and expand a new pulmonary service line with strong administrative backing
  • Provide care in a 12-bed ICU and support an inpatient pulmonary consult service averaging 10-12 consults weekly
  • Optional outpatient pulmonary clinic available for physicians interested in building an ambulatory practice

Schedule

  • 7 days on / 7 days off schedule
  • Shared call coverage during service weeks
  • Combination of ICU management and pulmonary consult responsibilities
  • Opportunity to customize your practice mix with optional outpatient pulmonary care

Compensation & Benefits

  • $500,000 guaranteed base salary
  • Uncapped RVU production model with substantial long-term earning potential
  • Comprehensive benefits package including malpractice coverage and retirement benefits
  • Additional incentives may be available based on final package structure

Candidate Requirements

  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine
  • Interest in helping build and grow a pulmonary program
  • Comfortable practicing in a community-based setting with specialist support
  • Collaborative physician who values long-term relationship building within the medical community

Community & Location Highlights

  • Live in a family-friendly community on Louisiana's sought-after Northshore
  • Excellent public and private school options
  • Enjoy boating, fishing, golf, dining, and year-round outdoor recreation
  • Easy access to New Orleans, Gulf Coast beaches, regional airports, and a lower cost of living than many major metropolitan areas
