Pulmonologist Business Cards for Lung and Respiratory Disease Practice

Pulmonologists are the internal medicine subspecialists who diagnose and treat diseases of the lungs, airways, and respiratory system — asthma, COPD, pneumonia, interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer (workup), and critical illness in the intensive care unit. Many pulmonologists hold dual board certification in pulmonary disease and critical care medicine, functioning both as outpatient consultants and ICU attending physicians.

What Pulmonologist Cards Must Include

Your Credentials

• MD or DO — medical degree
• Pulmonologist / Pulmonary Disease specialist / Pulmonary Medicine
• Board Certified in Pulmonary Disease — ABIM (American Board of Internal Medicine)
• Board Certified in Critical Care Medicine — ABIM — the dual certification that most pulmonologists hold
• FCCP (Fellow, American College of Chest Physicians) — CHEST — the most recognized visible credential for pulmonologists
• FCCM (Fellow, Society of Critical Care Medicine) — for intensivists
• CHEST member (American College of Chest Physicians)
• State medical license

Subspecialty certificates (ABIM):

• Sleep Medicine — many pulmonologists hold triple board certification in pulmonary, CC, and sleep
• Neurocritical care (through UCNS, not ABIM)

Procedural training:

• Interventional Pulmonology (IP) — EBAB (European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology) or AABIP (American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
• Flexible and rigid bronchoscopy
• EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) — staging lung cancer, sampling lymph nodes
• Navigational bronchoscopy (superDimension, Veran, Archimedes)
• Pleuroscopy / medical thoracoscopy
• Indwelling pleural catheter placement
• Cryobiopsy

Your Clinical Specialties

• Asthma — severe asthma, biologic therapy (Dupixent, Nucala, Fasenra, Xolair)
• COPD — pulmonary rehab, bronchoscopies, LAMA/LABA optimization
• ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease) — IPF, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, NSIP
• Pulmonary hypertension (PAH)
• Lung cancer — workup and staging bronchoscopy (not oncology treatment)
• Bronchiectasis
• Pleural disease — effusions, empyema, mesothelioma
• Sleep-disordered breathing — OSA, OHS, central sleep apnea
• Ventilator management / weaning
• Critical care / ICU — sepsis, ARDS, ventilator management

Your Setting

• Outpatient pulmonary clinic
• Hospital-based (inpatient consult service + ICU)
• Academic medical center
• Community hospital intensivist
