Education: Earning a four year degree, preferably in premed, chemistry, or biology, takes you one step closer to becoming a pulmonary doctor. After scoring well on the medical school entrance exams, four years of medical school come next. A three year internal medicine residency needs to be completed after graduation.

Demand: Despite well-publicized projections of an impending and actual intensivist workforce crisis in the United States from critical care societies and the federal government for over a decade, there continues to be a nationwide shortage of intensivists. Others, however, contend that workforce models, which base demand projections on intensive care unit (ICU) admission rather than true critical illness, substantially overstate the workforce gap.
