Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine

Pulmonary and Lung Surgery Nationally Ranked badge from U.S. News
UT Southwestern is ranked among the nation's top 20 hospitals for pulmonology and lung surgery (#16) by U.S. News & World Report.

For more than 60 years, the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine has been a leader in advancing patient care, scientific discovery, and education. With nearly 70 full-time and part-time faculty, we bring deep expertise in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and sarcoidosis.

Our mission is to improve health outcomes through compassionate care, innovative research, and training of future physician-leaders. We fulfill this mission by caring for patients at every stage of illness, from outpatients to those who are critically ill, whose conditions inspire us to continue learning and whose experiences motivate us to advance the frontiers of medicine.  

We are dedicated to not only treating our own patients but also shaping every aspect of pulmonary and critical care medicine so that we continue to have a positive  influence on new generations of clinicians and scientists.
