The physician chosen will play an integral role in the management, growth, and future direction of Cardiac Electrophysiology at our growing 1B VAMC facility. The selectee will build on the existing strengths and commitment to service excellence, high quality Veteran care, education, and scholarly endeavors in an environment that underscores a respect for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Responsibilities will include promoting and conducting high-quality patient-centric clinical care including lab-based and inpatient and outpatient consultation, mentoring trainees, mid-level providers, and junior faculty, developing an outstanding educational experience for learners of all levels, and conducting scholarly research and quality improvement. A robust ACGME-accredited fellowship training program in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and General Cardiology provides ample teaching opportunities.

Collaboration with Cardiac Electrophysiology faculty or other investigators at the VAAAHS or Michigan Medicine is available.
