Pulmonology and critical care sit at the center of inpatient demand — and dual-trained intensivists are among the scarcest physicians to find. Capstone permanently recruits pulmonologists and critical care physicians for hospitals, health systems, and groups nationwide, built bespoke to your ICU and clinic coverage.
A long-running, deepening shortage
The intensivist shortfall is projected to reach roughly 35% of demand by 2030, with pulmonology gaps climbing even higher — driven by an aging population and rising critical-illness burden. Demand is strongest for physicians who can cover both the ICU and the clinic, and those dual-trained pulmonary/critical care physicians remain in genuinely short supply.
How Capstone approaches it
We reach beyond job-board applicants to the passive physicians who aren’t actively looking, vet for clinical and cultural fit before you ever see a candidate, and manage the search from first outreach to signature. Every search is built around your organization — never run from a template.
Settings we serve
Hospitals & health systems, pulmonary & multispecialty groups, academic medicine, critical-access hospitals, and PE-backed platforms.
