As a General Cardiologist at Southern Indiana Heart & Vascular, you'll provide comprehensive non-invasive cardiology services to a diverse patient population across southeastern Indiana. Your days will offer the perfect blend of clinical variety and procedural consistency, allowing you to maintain and expand your skills across the full spectrum of non-invasive cardiology. Unlike many cardiology practices where physicians feel perpetually rushed, this position emphasizes thorough patient evaluation and personalized care plans over mere volume.
You'll divide your time between the state-of-the-art outpatient clinic and the adjacent hospital, where you'll care for inpatients on the dedicated cardiac step-down unit. This 20–30 bed cardiac unit (2 Tower) is conveniently positioned directly above the cath labs and close to the emergency department, facilitating rapid response for urgent cardiovascular cases. The hospital's exceptional door-to-balloon times – half the national average – reflect the efficiency of the entire cardiac team.
Your practice will serve patients from across a 10-county region in southeastern Indiana, representing a diverse demographic mix and a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. From managing complex heart failure patients to providing preventive care for those at risk, your expertise will make a meaningful difference in this community.
You'll practice in an environment designed to optimize your clinical effectiveness through excellent support staff and cutting-edge technology. The practice's infrastructure ensures that your time is focused on medical decision-making rather than administrative tasks.
Your call responsibilities reflect the practice's commitment to physician well-being, with a manageable 1:6 rotation that allows you to maintain personal commitments and family time. Unlike the exhausting schedules common in many hospital settings, this balanced approach means you'll typically take call just one weekend per month, with colleagues who genuinely respect boundaries during your off-time.
The call burden is consistently described as "light" with rare middle-of-the-night hospital visits. When you're on call, you'll have the security of knowing that your colleagues and the hospital staff are committed to appropriate triaging of issues, minimizing unnecessary interruptions while ensuring optimal patient care.
Joining Southern Indiana Heart & Vascular means practicing in an environment where clinical excellence is both expected and supported. You'll have the resources, time, and collaboration needed to provide the highest standard of cardiovascular care to your patients. Unlike many practices where volume targets can compromise quality, this position allows you to focus on what matters most: delivering personalized, evidence-based care that improves cardiac outcomes and enhances quality of life. The system's recognition as one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals isn't just an accolade – it's a reflection of the daily commitment to excellence you'll experience and contribute to in this role.
