The North Carolina Thoracic Society's 2025 workforce survey captured responses from 412 pulmonary and critical care physicians across the state — from academic medical centers to single-physician community practices.
Key findings include a significant rise in locum tenens reliance in rural ICUs, growing burnout among mid-career intensivists, and persistent gaps in pediatric pulmonary coverage east of I-95.
