As part of WakeMed Health & Hospitals, our group is committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered care to the communities we serve throughout Wake County and the surrounding region.

This position offers a balanced hybrid practice model with an approximate 50/50 mix of inpatient critical care and pulmonary medicine, including both inpatient consultative care and outpatient pulmonary clinic. The role is well-suited for a physician seeking a broad, clinically engaging practice with strong team support, procedural opportunities, and a sustainable workload.

The typical full-time schedule is approximately 160 hours per month, spread across the inpatient ICU, pulmonary consultation, and outpatient clinic locations.

Physicians in this role will provide high-quality clinical care while also participating in the teaching and supervision of residents, medical students, and advanced practice providers. Additional responsibilities include accurate documentation and coding, adherence to compliance standards, and participation in administrative and quality-related activities within the practice.

This position reports to the Division Director and supports the mission, values, and strategic direction of WakeMed Physician Practices.
