The incumbent will deliver the full spectrum of advanced interventional pulmonology care, encompassing complex bronchoscopic procedures, central airway management, pleural interventions, and multidisciplinary procedural support. In addition to the primary clinical mission, the position carries defined academic, educational, and administrative responsibilities consistent with a faculty appointment at a major academic medical center. 

Organizational Relationships 

The faculty member reports directly to the Program Director of the Lung Center and Lung Transplant Program at Jackson Memorial Health System. The Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) and the Lung Center at Jackson Memorial constitute a unified programmatic structure, and this position operates across both missions as a single integrated appointment. The role functions within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment and maintains close working relationships with Thoracic Surgery, Lung Transplant Surgery, Transplant Pulmonology, Medical and Thoracic Oncology, Interventional Radiology, and Pathology. The faculty member is responsible for the direct supervision and mentorship of Pulmonary and Critical Care fellows, internal medicine residents, and medical students rotating through the interventional pulmonology service.
