Heart Failure Specialist – South Shore University Hospital

Job description

Northwell Health's Department of Cardiology is seeking a fellowship-trained Heart Failure Specialist to join the highly skilled cardiac team at South Shore University Hospital located in Bay Shore, New York.

Northwell Health's Department of Cardiology has seen tremendous growth over the past five years within Long Island, New York City and Westchester, with the goal of providing comprehensive, integrated health care and wellness services. South Shore University Hospital has become a destination for residents in Suffolk County who are in need of world-class care. In fact, more people choose South Shore University Hospital for complex heart and lung care than any other hospital on the east end of Long Island. As the tertiary hospital of Northwell's Eastern Region, we take care of complex heart failure patients, and have a wide referral network. We have programs in critical care, cardiac surgery, coronary and peripheral interventions, structural heart disease, advanced electrophysiology, amongst others, and therefore, are able to support the increasing needs of our heart failure population.

The Advanced Heart Failure Program across Northwell Health is a multidisciplinary team including heart failure cardiologists and surgeons, nurse practitioners and registered nurses, as well as pharmacy, behavioral health, social work, exercise physiology and nutritional services. We offer the full spectrum of care to the advanced heart failure patient from medical to device and surgical therapies such as CardioMems™ implantation, cardiac resynchronization therapy, cardiac contractility technology, Barostim™, high risk cardiac surgery, temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support including left ventricular assist device (LVADs), and heart transplantation. We also have an active clinical trials program that allow us to give access to our patients to the most advanced research and innovative medical-device therapies within clinical trials. We offer graduate medical training in all areas of cardiology, including advanced heart failure, and are active teachers at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

The ideal candidate will be Board Certified/Eligible in ABIM Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology. Additional experience and ability to read Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests are a plus. The candidate will spend a majority of time at South Shore University Hospital taking care of inpatient and outpatients with heart failure. There are opportunities to also spend time at North Shore University Hospital to participate in the transplant and LVAD programs.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. In addition, an academic appointment with The Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell is commensurate with credentials and experience. Physicians will be employed as members of Northwell Physician Partners, the fifth largest medical group in the country.

Northwell Health is New York State's largest health care provider and private employer, with 21 hospitals, 850+ outpatient facilities, and more than 16,600 affiliated physicians. We care for over two million people annually in the New York metro area and beyond. Our 84,000 employees - including 18,900 nurses and 4,900 employed doctors, are working to change health care for the better. We are making breakthroughs in medicine at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and training the next generation of medical professionals at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and at many of our clinical sites.
