Interventional Cardiologist

Patients with acute coronary syndromes, complex coronary disease, and structural heart conditions need a physician who can decide fast and intervene with precision. In this role, you will own the full arc of care—from urgent diagnosis through procedure, recovery, and follow-up—so more people leave the lab stable, informed, and on a clear path. Your judgment in the cath lab will set the standard for safety, outcomes, and how this program is trusted in the community.

Performance Objectives

• Lead STEMI and other emergent activations so door-to-device times consistently meet or beat national benchmarks.
• Perform a high-quality mix of coronary and appropriate structural interventions with complication rates at or below peer benchmarks.
• Complete clear, timely procedure reports and handoffs that give referring physicians and inpatient teams an unambiguous plan within the same day.
• Reduce avoidable readmissions by closing gaps in dual antiplatelet therapy, rehab referral, and early post-procedure follow-up.
• Build referral confidence through case review, outreach, and shared decision-making that grows appropriate procedural volume.
• Participate in quality, peer review, and morbidity conferences, turning each case into a measurable improvement in protocol or technique.
• Mentor fellows, APPs, or cath lab staff so the team can run complex cases safely when you are not in the room.

Environment & Resources

You will practice in a modern cardiac catheterization laboratory with on-site surgical backup, multimodality imaging, and a coordinated heart team. Support includes dedicated cath lab nursing and technologists, advanced practice providers, and established STEMI and structural pathways. You will report to the cardiology service leader, with protected time for quality work and a defined call schedule shared across the interventional group.

Essential Qualifications

• M.D. or D.O., ABIM Cardiovascular Disease certification, and Interventional Cardiology certification or board eligibility.
• Unrestricted state medical license and active hospital privileges, or eligibility to obtain both before start.
• Documented independent experience in PCI, including complex and emergent cases, with outcomes you can discuss.
• Current ACLS and comfort directing a multidisciplinary team during acute coronary emergencies.
• Structural or peripheral skills are an advantage when they match program need; coronary excellence is required.
• A record of clear communication with patients, families, and referring clinicians under time pressure.

Role Selling Points

• Real clinical ownership: your cases, your outcomes, and a voice in how the lab runs.
• A heart-team model that puts imaging, surgery, and intervention in the same decision, not sequential referrals.
• Volume and case mix sufficient to stay sharp without sacrificing recovery time or teaching.
• Quality infrastructure already in place—registries, peer review, and STEMI feedback—so improvement is visible, not rhetorical.
• A compensation and call structure designed for sustainable practice, not perpetual coverage gaps.
