Overview
Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Cardiologist
The Department of Pediatrics at Dartmouth Health Children’s and The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth seeks a board certified/eligible Pediatric Cardiologist with expertise in adult congenital heart disease.

Unique aspects of this ACHD position:
- Academic position with excellent work-life balance
- Opportunities for leadership within a multidisciplinary, collaborative ACHD team with an established patient panel
- Excellent location with lower cost of living 50 miles away from Boston
- Stable, competitive salary based on high quality patient-centered care rather than productivity focused metrics
