Why Pulmonary?

Pediatricians become Pediatric Pulmonologists for many reasons, including the desire to:

  • Evaluate and manage children with acute and chronic respiratory disorders including asthma, chronic lung disease of prematurity, cystic fibrosis, recurrent cough and wheezing, diffuse lung disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, pneumonia, chest wall disorders, neuromuscular disease, lung transplantation, etc.;
  • Perform certain procedures such as flexible bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, and transbronchial biopsies and interpret pulmonary function studies, polysomnograms, chest imaging studies, sweat tests, etc.;
  • Form long-term relationships with children who have chronic lung disorders or who are respiratory technology-dependent and their families;
  • Assist other pediatricians and pediatric specialists in evaluating and managing children with acute and chronic lung disorders or complications of various therapies, mechanical ventilation, other lung injuries, etc.;
  • Teach residents, medical students, practicing physicians, other healthcare professionals, etc.;
  • Investigate lung development, disease mechanisms, disease epidemiology, disease outcomes, ways to improve lung health, etc.;
  • Lead and be involved in quality improvement and patient safety initiatives to better provide care to children with acute and chronic lung disorders
  • Advocate on the local, state, and national levels for children with chronic respiratory illness
