From the employer
Overview
Join a rapidly growing Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine program just outside of Indianapolis, where you will step into immediate patient demand, strong procedural volume, and a highly collaborative team.
This is a true growth opportunity, not a replacement role, where you can build a long-term practice with support, autonomy, and balance. The incoming physician will have the opportunity to shape the future of the pulmonary and sleep service line, with leadership potential as the program continues to expand.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

- Supportive onboarding with quick ramp-up
- Excellent work-life balance in a high-demand specialty
Practice Highlights
- 80% outpatient and 15-20% inpatient consults
- Dedicated weekly procedure day
- No traditional call burden
- Hospitalists manage ICU and admissions; pulmonology consulted as needed
- Strong referral base with increasing pulmonary and sleep demand
Team Structure
- 2 Pulmonary/Critical Care physicians
- 2 Nurse Practitioners (including one with extensive pulmonary experience)
- 3 Respiratory Therapists and RN support
