Overview

The Walt Disney Pavilion at AdventHealth for Children is looking for an experienced Pediatric Cardiac Intensivist to help lead the division of pediatric cardiac intensive care at AdventHealth for Children.

Responsibilities of the new physician will include furthering the growth of the Cardiac ICU program aligned with our growing surgical program, mentorship of the CICU Physicians, developing quality improvement processes, standardizing care, and engaging stakeholders both within the hospital as well as the community. Clinical time will be exclusively in our CICU and account for 80% of time commitment with 20% set aside for leadership activity. The new leader would work with our Medical Director of Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Surgery and work collaboratively with our dedicated peds cardiology team (seven physicians).

The Cardiac ICU at Adventhealth is a 15 bed state of the art unit. It provides care for post surgical patients with a predicted case volume for the current year of 250. In addition, there is robust interventional cardiology and electrophysiology cases requiring critical care services.

Adventhealth also has a 22 bed pediatric ICU that maintains its own leadership structure and physician staff. Academics include a pediatric residency program (launched in 2013) with twelve residents per year and clinical research opportunities.

Working with an expanding and committed children's hospital, a strong employed physician multispecialty group, a family-centered practice atmosphere, and a competitive benefits / compensation package are just a few of the many reasons why this is an excellent career opportunity to consider.

Requirements of the position:

• At least five years' experience post fellowship
• Preferred experience leading a Cardiac Critical Care group or division
• Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Critical Care
• Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Fellowship or Cardiology Fellowship (preferred but not required)
• Strong communication skills
