We are seeking a highly skilled, patient-focused Cardiovascular Surgeon to join our growing, high-volume surgical team. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in a broad spectrum of adult cardiac and vascular procedures, with valuable experience in general thoracic surgery.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with our multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, pulmonologists, oncologists, and intensive care specialists to provide exceptional, comprehensive operative care. While the primary focus of this position is advanced cardiovascular surgery, the ability to manage and perform essential thoracic interventions is highly beneficial to meet our community's diverse clinical needs.
Key Responsibilities:
Surgical Excellence: Perform advanced cardiovascular procedures including, but not limited to, CABG (on/off-pump), valve repair/replacement (AVR/MVR), TAVR, aortic surgery, and peripheral vascular interventions.
Thoracic Scope: Utilize general thoracic surgery experience to perform lung resections, mediastinal mass excisions, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and chest wall procedures.
Patient Continuity: Conduct comprehensive pre-operative evaluations, develop tailored surgical plans, and manage post-operative recovery within the CVICU and dedicated cardiac step-down units.
Collaborative Care: Actively participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards, heart team conferences, and quality improvement initiatives to optimize patient safety and clinical outcomes.
On-Call Duties: Share equitable call coverage for emergency cardiovascular and thoracic surgical interventions with the existing surgical team.
