Pulmonology is the subspecialty of Internal medicine that more commonly specializes in the lungs and bronchial tubes. Pulmonologists also evaluate the nose, pharynx, and throat as well as the heart. When researching pulmonology, I found out very quickly that most words were very hard to understand. Since I was not a medical student at some high standard University. I found myself unable to really comprehend the subject at hand, so I started searching groups for people wanting to become a pulmonologist. That’s where I found what I had been searching for. After finally understanding my topic, I could completely see how complex and competitive becoming a pulmonologist really is. You must complete medical school, postgraduate training, and become board certified in Internal Medicine. This process can take six to seven years. After schooling, most decide to study certain conditions that effect the Respiratory system for an additional two to three years. During the process of becoming board certified in Internal Medicine, the ABIM, or American Board of Internal Medicine Certification hold strict requirements. These requirements include attending a school that is accredited at the date of graduation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, thirty six months of residency training that includes twelve months of accredited Internal Medicine training at three levels getting harder each year, and another thirty-six months of full time Internal Medicine training. The board also judges on candidates competence in patient care and procedural skills, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism and systems-based practice. During the three years of training, each year each candidate will be rated satisfactory, marginal or unsatisfactory in three qualities. These qualities include overall clinical competence, Moral and ethical behavior, and Individual General Competencies. If
