Annually, division members read over 18,000 echocardiograms, over 1400 fetal echoes, over 350 cardiac MRIs, and over 400 CT angiograms.

The Pediatric Cardiologist will share in all clinical aspects, educational efforts, program development, and quality improvement initiatives associated with the echocardiography service. Physicians provide rotating coverage of the echo lab, and depending on qualifications, night and weekend call for emergency transesophageal echocardiograms or assistance with interpreting complex transthoracic studies. Division members are expected to rotate in covering general cardiology night and weekend call with other Division members. Division members participate in general cardiology outpatient clinic and inpatient service, in addition to their duties in their areas of expertise. Clinical responsibilities may also include seeing patients in an outreach clinic setting. Clinical duties will be carried out at Primary Children's Hospitals and the Division's outreach sites. In addition to clinical service, there is both opportunity and expectation for academic work, including education, investigation/research and administration, as well as advocacy. There will be reserved time for these efforts with a well-established support structure, expected benchmarks, and both breadth and depth in mentoring available within the Division.

Qualified candidates must be Board Eligible/Board Certified in Pediatric Cardiology, with focused training and expertise in echocardiography. This includes fourth-year trained physicians, graduates of a three-year fellowship with demonstrable interest and skill in the performance and interpretation of transthoracic echocardiography, or general cardiologists remote from training with significant exposure and experience with transthoracic echocardiography. The selected candidate will receive a faculty appointment in the Department of Pediatrics on the Clinical or Tenure Track at the academic level commensurate with experience and qualifications. Leadership opportunities are available for qualified candidates.
