Key roles and primary responsibilities will include clinical oversight (inpatient/outpatient), quality improvement (UNOS/CMS compliance), MCS/Transplant program development, and academic contributions, working closely with the section Head of the Advanced HF and LVAD and transplant surgical directors. The candidate would join and lead a multidisciplinary team (4 BC advanced HF staff physicians, 6 mid-level providers, and a 7th year advanced heart failure fellowship position) and demonstrate expertise in all aspects of Advanced Heart Failure, including inpatient, outpatient, and outreach services. Additionally, we have a large CardioMEMS program, amyloidosis program, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac sarcoid clinics. The Ochsner Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic which is PHA certified and quite robust and well-established is also a program the candidate would be able to participate in as it is run by the Advanced Heart Failure Team. As a health system with several Ochsner owned and Ochsner-affiliated medical centers we have established a cardiogenic shock initiative that is multidisciplinary in approach and growing throughout the state and the Gulf South region.
