What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cardiologist - Adult Congenital Heart Disease - Emory School of Medicine position at Emory Physician Group Practices?
Emory Heart and Vascular Center is a nationally and globally recognized leader in cardiovascular care and is home to the Emory Adult Congenital Heart Center, one of the country's largest and most comprehensive programs caring for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD).
The Emory Adult Congenital Heart Center is seeking to add three additional board-certified or board-eligible ACHD cardiologists to meet the needs of our growing regional and national ACHD patient population, support clinical education and training in ACHD, and conduct research relevant to the ACHD population and / or other cardiovascular problems. We are looking for future partners who are eager for a chance to care for patients with highly complex congenital heart disease across the entire spectrum of ACHD cardiology expertise, including advanced imaging (CT / MR), intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, cardio-obstetrics, inpatient and outpatient clinical service.
Our center is the only Adult Congenital Heart Association accredited comprehensive care ACHD center in Georgia, and we are the destination program for adolescents and young adults transitioning from the Sibley Heart Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Patients from across the United States are referred to Emory for access to advanced diagnosis and innovative treatments offered by our team currently consisting of four adult congenital cardiologists, three structural / valvular interventional cardiologists, three experienced congenital heart surgeons, advanced practice providers specializing in ACHD, and multiple other experts in the fields of minimally invasive heart valve surgery, aortic and vascular surgery, advanced heart failure / transplantation, and clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
Our cardiologists are also integrated into the Emory Pregnancy Heart Team that cares for women with congenital heart disease during pregnancy or considering pregnancy. Our center is home to an ACGME accredited ACHD fellowship, and we concurrently provide clinical training to fellows rotating from our general cardiovascular medicine and pediatric cardiology fellowship programs.
Faculty will be appointed to a rank commensurate with experience and academic qualifications at the Emory University School of Medicine.
