We are currently seeking coverage for 2025! Are you a resident heading into a cardiac fellowship? If so, reach out to us today, we would love to have you interview with our team!

Clinical excellence is essential in our fast-paced and medically-directed environment that includes all types of cases including high acuity cardiac cases. We are a team system and provide mentoring in areas that need to be strengthened or require more experience.

Our Cardiothoracic Physicians will have about 1000-1200 cardiac pump cases per year. In regards to call, physicians see about 2-3 overnight in house calls per month and back-up pager call is approximately 3-4 times per month. Mix of cardiac (mostly) and general call; average to 1 day/week and 1 weekend per month. Some in house over night shifts with pre and post call day off and the majority of the rest of the call is cardiac call (back up at home on pager after 7pm). Post call day is early out.
