In today's innovative healthcare landscape, pulmonary surgeons play a vital role in the treatment and management of complex thoracic conditions. At Neumark Surgery, our dedicated team of specialists is committed to providing state-of-the-art surgical care tailored to meet each patient's individual needs.

Understanding the Role of Pulmonary Surgeons

Pulmonary surgeons are highly trained medical professionals specializing in the surgical treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and other thoracic organs. They are essential in diagnosing and treating conditions like lung cancer, pleural disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The path to becoming a competent pulmonary surgeon involves extensive education, rigorous training, and a commitment to continuous learning.

Educational Pathways

• Bachelor's Degree: The journey starts with an undergraduate education in a relevant field such as biology or chemistry.
• Medical School: Candidates must complete an accredited medical school program, obtaining their Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degrees.
• Residency Program: After medical school, aspiring pulmonary surgeons enter a residency in general surgery, which typically lasts 5-7 years.
• Fellowship Training: Following residency, surgeons pursue additional fellowship training in thoracic or pulmonary surgery lasting another 1-3 years.
