Additional duties include development of a comprehensive program to improve treatment options for patients with severe lung diseases (such as pulmonary rehabilitation), and an important administrative role in improving respiratory therapy education and care. Standard staff duties are also required such as hospital committee membership, timely completion of medical records and mandated training modules.

Research and scholarly activities are an integral component of the career of an academic pulmonologist. No specific research area is assigned, but all members of the pulmonary section are encouraged to engage in scholarly activities.
