Overview

Pulmonology & Respiratory Medicine covers pulmonology practices and respiratory-medicine programs treating COPD, asthma, lung disease, and complex respiratory conditions. Demand is driven by chronic respiratory disease prevalence and an aging population.

It has been a less-consolidated specialty, with sleep medicine and infusion as ancillary opportunities, and emerging interest in pulmonary and critical-care management organizations. Chronic-disease management underpins recurring demand.
