Non-Invasive Cardiology Physician

Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute is seeking a Non-Invasive Cardiologist to join its growing practice at Atrium Health Cabarrus, a high quality, innovation driven tertiary care site within Advocate Health. This opportunity offers the ability to practice at a busy regional referral hospital while contributing to advanced cardiac imaging, inpatient services, and continued program growth.
 
About the Practice & Hospital
The cardiovascular program offers a full spectrum of services including advanced non-invasive and structural imaging, structural and interventional cardiology, comprehensive electrophysiology services, and advanced heart failure care. Physicians practice in a highly collaborative, team-based environment alongside 17 cardiologists and a multidisciplinary team that includes more than 18 cardiology-focused advanced practice providers and several cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons.

Highlights

Why This Opportunity
This is a busy, well established clinical practice with a strong referral base and opportunities to participate in program growth and clinical innovation. Physicians benefit from a supportive, academically engaged health system and the ability to practice on a modern, expanding campus that serves as a regional cardiovascular hub.
 
Clinical Responsibilities – Inpatient Services
Physicians rotate between two inpatient services, including a 14-bed Cardiac Care Unit with attached step-down unit. A significant portion of the patient population includes post surgical cardiac patients. Dedicated CCU weeks include management of critically ill cardiac patients, including mechanical circulatory support, ECMO, and advanced cardiac devices. CCU care is co managed with a 24/7 in house critical care team. The general cardiology inpatient service includes APP support. 
 
Service Schedule
Service coverage is provided in week long blocks. Physicians cover approximately 10 weeks per year, or about one week every 5–6 weeks.
 
Outpatient Clinic & Imaging
When not on service, physicians split time between clinic and imaging with intentional variety built into the schedule. Outpatient cardiology clinics are interspersed with imaging days. The primary clinic site is also at Atrium Health Cabarrus. The schedule is designed to avoid back to back clinic days whenever possible. Imaging days rotate to provide variety and prevent long stretches in a single role.
