The Heart Center is seeking a full-time, inpatient-focused pediatric cardiologist who will also take on a leadership role in bioinformatics. This position is for a physician with both clinical and academic responsibilities, including a dedicated effort in bioinformatics.

Job Description

This position will consist of both inpatient and outpatient cardiology. As a key member of our inpatient pediatric cardiology unit, you will manage a wide spectrum of cardiac disease states, including medical patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, as well as pre- and post-operative cardiac surgical patients.

Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to, admission, ongoing inpatient diagnostic and therapeutic management, and discharging a wide spectrum of patients. You will be expected to know the indications for and ordering of specific testing modalities, interpreting the results, and communicating them with families and referring physicians. You will work within a larger team of hospital-based providers, including cardiac surgeons, cardiac intensivists, cardiac catheterization specialists, and cardiac imaging specialists.

The position also includes inpatient consultative services and an outpatient continuity clinic.

Bioinformatics Responsibilities

The candidate will have a dedicated effort in bioinformatics and will be expected to lead this effort in the Heart Center.
