Outpatient pulm is fine but often boring (rising numbers of PCPs too lazy to manage basic asthma/COPD or order follow-up CTs for tiny lung nodules) and dealing with inbasket messages etc is a pain in the butt compared to the shift work model of consults and ICU.
If I want no outpatient pulm at all after fellowship am I limited pretty much to an intensivist-only career or is there a good job market for a MICU/pulm consults/procedures type of gig?
