In 1885 he qualified as a lecturer in obstetrics and gynecology (the microorganism of the gonorrheic mucous membrane diseases "Gonococcus Neisser" ). In 1887 he founded a private clinic with Albert Hoffa in Würzburg.
In 1894 Bumm became a full professor at the University of Basel . In 1899 he was rector of the university. In 1901 Bumm was appointed to the University of Halle and in 1904 to the II.

He was rector in Berlin too.
He was appointed a privy councilor and served as president of the German Society for Gynecology .
He died in Munich at the age of 67 as a result of a gallbladder disease. Numerous obituaries paid tribute to his services. In the seminar room of the Charité high-rise in Berlin, a bust of Ernst Bumm made by Fritz Klimsch is set up.
Bumm was married to Lilli Leube (1875–1938), daughter of the physician Wilhelm von Leube . After the death of your father, Bumm's wife was co-owner of the Fideikommiss Schloss Montfort on Lake Constance. Montfort Castle was the summer residence of the von Leube family.

Work areas
Ernst Bumm made important contributions to the fight against postpartum fever by using the findings of bacteriology for his subject, and he developed new gynecological surgical techniques. He attributed female gonorrhea and puerperal fever for the first time to bacterial infections. His 1902 work Grundriss for the Study of Obstetrics has become a model for many textbooks due to the high quality of the illustrations. Other areas of research were eclampsia , uterine cancer and diseases of the urinary tract in women. In addition, Bumm set himself the goal of lower child mortality in Germany and, in addition to medical measures, called for better living conditions for the lower and middle classes of the population. He promoted the radiation treatment of cervical cancer, which was emerging at the time.
