This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, high-acuity critical care service caring for a complex population of cardiothoracic surgery, abdominal transplant, lung transplant, cardiology, and ECMO patients.

The intensivist team provides ECMO transport using ground, rotor-wing, and fixed-wing platforms.
Experience with one or more of our core patient populations is highly desirable. Joint appointments with other specialties, including cardiology and cardiac anesthesia, will be considered. Applicants with combined training in multiple specialties or subspecialties are encouraged to apply. Highly qualified recent fellowship graduates with strong clinical skills, sound judgment, humility, adaptability, and a commitment to team-based care are also welcome.
The position includes clinical care, teaching, and academic responsibilities. Faculty members participate in the education of residents, fellows, medical students, and advanced practice providers through bedside teaching, didactic instruction, simulation, and other educational activities.
