Pulmonary Clinical Research Coordinator II (Spanish Preferred)

About Our Pulmonary Program:
Pulmonary medicine focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Our nationally recognized Pulmonary program provides comprehensive care for babies, children, and teens with conditions that impact their breathing and sleep. We offer specialized clinics dedicated to treating children with cystic fibrosis and asthma, and provide general evaluations for symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, recurrent pneumonia, wheezing, chest pain, and exercise intolerance.

Education is at the heart of what we do; we empower families to manage their child's condition today while planning for the future. Our multidisciplinary team includes doctors, nurses, social workers, respiratory therapists, and a dietitian, all committed to providing complete and compassionate care. We also collaborate closely with experts in Otolaryngology, General Surgery, Rehabilitation Medicine, Sleep Medicine, and Radiology to ensure integrated care for every child.
