The Department of Pediatrics, Central Michigan University College of Medicine, at The Children's Hospital of Michigan, is recruiting Board Certified Pediatric Cardiac Electrophysiologists both at the Director as well as junior staff levels to join the only Pediatric/Congenital Heart Electrophysiology program in the metropolitan Detroit area. Depending on experience, the positions include academic appointments from Assistant to full Professor at Central Michigan University College of Medicine with salary commensurate with academic rank. IBHRE certification is strongly recommended.
The successful applicant must be licensed/licensable to practice in the state of Michigan and will join the only full service Cardiology/Cardiovascular program in Detroit. The positions include performance of invasive and non-invasive cardiac electrophysiology procedures. Some general cardiology duties, as well as Cardiology Fellow and Resident/Medical Student teaching are to be expected. As a university-based academic program, there are opportunities for clinical, translational and basic science research.
The 228-bed Children's Hospital of Michigan includes a 24 bed dedicated Cardiac ICU, 37-bed Regional Level IV NICU, and 36 bed general PICU. The facility is the teaching hospital for Central Michigan, Wayne State, and Michigan State Universities Colleges of Medicine and trains more pediatricians than any other facility in Michigan. The hospital has long shaped the science of pediatric medicine and is consistently ranked by US News & World Report as one of America's best pediatric hospitals. Invasive EP procedures are performed in one of two newly-renovated Siemens biplane hybrid Catheterization Laboratories equipped with St Jude Claris, EnSite as well as Boston Scientific Maestro mapping/ablation equipment. Over 120-invasive EP catheterization procedures are performed annually. Telemetric monitoring provides remote cardiac device assessments for over 350 patients under the guidance of a dedicated Pediatric EP Nurse Practitioner. There is a close working association with Internal Medicine Cardiac Electrophysiology Associates at the on-campus DMC Heart Hospital.
The Division of Cardiology has established Echocardiography and Interventional Catheterization services and a full cardiopulmonary exercise physiology laboratory. It provides specialized clinics in arrhythmias/devices, adult congenital heart, heart failure, heart transplant, lipid management, pulmonary hypertension and fetal cardiology. The Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Training Program typically yields 100% job placement.
