Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist at Children’s Hospital of Georgia

You will step into a highly specialized role at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia (CHOG), part of Wellstar MCG Health in Augusta. As a Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist, your practice will blend advanced cardiac cases with the full spectrum of pediatric anesthesia, positioning you at the center of the region’s most comprehensive pediatric program. The need for this position comes at a pivotal time, as the team prepares for the planned retirement of a senior physician in 2026 and expansion of surgical capacity with additional pediatric surgeons.

The hospital serves as the only dedicated pediatric facility in the region, drawing patients from across Georgia and neighboring states. Your expertise in complex congenital heart disease will directly impact children and families who rely on CHOG for life-saving procedures and compassionate care.

As a member of a collaborative, academic environment, you’ll enjoy the professional satisfaction of teaching residents and fellows while still maintaining a strong clinical focus. You’ll be supported by a Division Chief who values innovation and collegiality, alongside a multidisciplinary team that fosters a family-like culture.
