Board-certified Non Invasive Cardiologist with five years or more of experience. This is a clinical leadership role with the majority of responsibility being clinical (70% clinical and 30% protected time). We prefer someone with leadership experience but will consider candidates without if they have the other pre-requisites. The preference is for someone with experience at an Academic Research Medical Center. They are looking for someone who can elevate the program and take it in a strategic growth direction.
You will have the opportunity to supervise Cardiologists, Fellows, Residents and Students, and have the chance to teach Residents and Fellows (there are currently three Fellows and about 22 Residents). You will see 15-20 patients a day, with a Fellow, 50% of which are new patients. Initial consults are 30 minutes. Ochsner is a closed medical system and about 35% of referrals are external.
No Call. The Interventional Cardiologists are in the CCU rotation and cover three weeks a year.
Support from MA, RN, and APP's.
Monday through Friday, 8 am -5 pm schedule
At the main campus there are five cath labs, EP, Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiovascular Surgery. Besides the Interventional Cardiologists, only the Vascular Surgeons do peripheral vascular procedures, no Cardiac Surgeons or Interventional Radiologists. If you have an interest in Clinical trials/research it is available, and you can be as active as you want.
Ochsner utilizes Epic for their EMR software, making it possible for every patient to have a single, comprehensive medical record that informs and is informed by their health experiences. The goal is higher-quality, more personalized care that’s simpler for patients, medical professionals, and everyone who makes healthcare happen.
