Your practice will focus on comprehensive non-invasive cardiology, caring for a broad patient population—from young adults with new cardiac symptoms to elderly patients with complex disease. As the region’s referral center, you’ll manage the full spectrum of cardiac conditions, including patients who travel long distances and often wait weeks or months for specialty care.
You’ll have flexibility in how you structure your schedule, with the option to dedicate specific days to imaging and testing and others solely to clinic. Clinic days take place in the new Heart & Vascular Institute, featuring 20 exam rooms and co-located cardiac rehab, surgery, electrophysiology, and interventional cardiology—allowing for efficient workflow and seamless multidisciplinary collaboration.
Your practice is supported by a full spectrum of non-invasive imaging and diagnostics, including echocardiography (TTE, stress echo, TEE), nuclear cardiology, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, ABI studies, tilt table testing, and comprehensive ambulatory monitoring (Holter, Zio, Preventis). Most testing is currently hospital-based, with expanded capabilities moving into the new clinic space to better integrate testing with clinic workflow.
You’ll have autonomy to read and interpret your own studies, avoiding outside-read delays. Cardiac CT and MRI are available for physicians with advanced imaging expertise (most focus on one modality). TEE experience is strongly preferred, with proctoring or additional training available if needed. Dedicated procedure days allow testing to remain separate from clinic responsibilities, with close collaboration across structural heart, cath lab, and electrophysiology services.
This role offers no mandatory call, giving you full control over evenings and weekends, with optional call available for added involvement or income. You’ll join a stable team of 2 cardiac surgeons, 1 contracted interventionalist, and 4 nurse practitioners, with NPs supporting consults, follow-ups, and routine care so you can focus on complex cases. Locums coverage is used only until permanent physicians are in place.
Epic is the EMR, supported by experienced nurses, medical assistants, and cardiac technologists familiar with cardiology workflows. Your schedule balances urgent same-day consults with protected time for complex patients, allowing you to manage volume without sacrificing quality.
As the region’s sole provider of comprehensive cardiac care, this program offers exceptional opportunity for growth. Identified gaps in care can be quickly developed into new services, with strong patient volume, referral support, and administrative backing for specialized clinics such as heart failure, preventive cardiology, or women’s heart health. Long-term stability—led by the same CEO for over 20 years—allows meaningful, sustained program development.
You’ll practice with full subspecialty support on site, including a robust structural heart program (TAVR, ASD/PFO closure, Watchman, MitraClip), a fully equipped cath lab (PCI, atherectomy, IVUS, FFR/iFR, OCT, Impella, IABP), electrophysiology services, and comprehensive cardiac surgery. This depth of resources allows complex cases to be managed locally rather than transferred.
Serving a large, rural region means your clinical judgment has real impact for patients who live hours away. The role offers both professional autonomy and the satisfaction of expanding access to high-level cardiac care for an underserved population.
