Cardiac+CC jobs

Hey all, looking to make a change in upcoming months. Anyone know or can speak to good spots (both academic and private) where I should look? I’d be more willing to sacrifice my cardiac practice than my critical care practice at this point (ie I definitely want to continue with critical care), though ideally I’d be practicing both.

Currently in an academic position though not married to that, would gladly walk away from academics for the right job.

Thanks in advance!

The nature of your question will limit you greatly. There are very few, probably less than 10%, of traditional PPs that include Anes WITH CCM as I’m sure you know. Incorporating another subspecialty (cardiac) and it’s a virtual guarantee with few exceptions that you’ll need to seek an academic employer.

I knew of a few PP cardiac/CCM jobs but over the last few years they are becoming more and more formally linked/acquired by the local ivory tower. Just how it goes.

That being said, academic departments are hurting for CCM docs and the combo with a cardiac fellowship makes you a very attractive candidate all things being equal.

Speaking very, VERY broadly the middle of the country (Midwest, Texas) tends to have subjectively better Cardiac/CCM gigs than the coasts. California and New England are notable for awful academic posts (with a few exceptions, of course - but I’ve seen that it’s pretty hard to break into these jobs).

Thanks for your reply, currently in an academic spot in the Midwest but needing a change for various reasons. I know it’s tough to find it all in the community but figured I’d crowdsource a bit and see what people knew of out there.

Definitely would be fine staying in academics, just cannot be in my current shop.

This is maybe my naiveness being PGY1 but if the hospital only does 200 hearts a year between 9 attendings, why is the focus on hiring only ACTA/CCM trained people?

I really don’t know, but they say “predominantly ct and icu”. Looks like they have thoracic and other types of cases that they might want a CT trained person doing.

It’s really common to hire fellowship trained people that only work under abilities of their fellowship part of the time and they do general cases the rest of the time.

Not my posting; I just randomly saw it after I say this post.

Thought the OP might be interested.

Are you dual trained?

How do people actually find these ACTA/CCM jobs? Is it really purely by connections? GasWorks doesn't seem to list them.

We do

My practice does both. PM if still interested.

I'd imagine you could email any chair of an academic department that does cardiac and critical care (which is many it would seem) and simply express interest. I know ours would readily take more people. Ever-growing cardiac volume and critical care services (our faculty just started covering a sister hospital's ICU down the road as well as tele-ICU).

We do both ICU and Cardiac in our current practice (private). PM if you are still interested.
