Job market for PH specialist?

[cavitarynodule]

There's PH fellowships popping up - just wondering what is the general demand for PH specialists? Only at academic centers? Tough time finding a job in some areas if not cards background?

PH is split between cards and pulm, though based on my interviews for cards, seems like 75% pulm or joint cards plus pulm, and 25% exclusively cards. You will be mostly confined to academic centers. It's complex, high maintenence patients who require lots of time and expensive therapies.

There is a potential niche in private practice as long as you are also willing to do general pulm/ccm( call, consults etc). If you were my partner I would send them all to you, and all our rhc.

Plan to work at an academic center in general.

Some metros might theoretically support a non academic job BUT most of those same metros have an academic center. A place like Phoenix could work perhaps.
