What Is a Pulmonologist

A pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in breathing disorders. A pulmonologist is the best person to call if you are experiencing respiratory problems. In internal medicine, there is a specialty called pulmonology. A pulmonologist's interns receive the same training as an internal medicine intern. They then complete an internist residency after receiving their medical degree. In addition to critical care, sleep medicine, and pulmonary medicine, they spend many years as fellows in pulmonary medicine. It is necessary to pass the specialist exams in order to become board-certified pulmonologists.
