Build a rewarding pediatric cardiology practice without giving up the time and balance you want outside of medicine.
The Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Children’s Nebraska is seeking a board-eligible or board-certified Pediatric Cardiologist with fetal echocardiography expertise to join our established Des Moines practice. Physicians at any career stage are encouraged to consider the opportunity.
Des Moines offers an exceptional quality of life that enables physicians and their families to thrive professionally and personally. With affordable housing, highly rated schools, short commute times, and a welcoming Midwestern culture, physicians have more time to spend with family, pursue hobbies, and enjoy life outside of work. Whether you prefer vibrant urban amenities, outdoor recreation, youth activities, or weekend travel, Des Moines provides the accessibility and balance that many physicians seek but rarely find.
We are committed to increasing diversity in our organizations to reflect the population that we serve and encourage applications from all candidates who will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the institution. Nominations, expressions of interest and applications (including cover letter and CV/resume) should be submitted to: Dr. Jeffrey W. Delaney (jdelaney@childrensnebraska.org), Division chief of pediatric cardiology, and/or Jacki Nun, LCSW, Administrator, Physician & Faculty Recruitment at jnun@childrensnebraska.org or 712.251.7444. All replies will be treated with confidentiality.
