Cardiovascular Hospitalist

Job Description

This position has been allocated for a board certified or eligible physician.

Cardiovascular Hospitalist (Hospitalist)

When you join us, you’ll become a part of a nationally recognized health system dedicated to our mission of “helping people live the healthiest lives possible.”

About This Role

We have a unique approach to caring for patients with cardiovascular conditions. Our Cardiovascular Hospitalists include an independent hospitalist team that works primarily out of the Acute Cardiovascular unit at Utah Valley Hospital. This collaborative group of Internal Medicine trained Hospitalists admits patients coming in with a presumed primary cardiac condition and provides comprehensive consultative service within the CV unit. There are dedicated CV Intensivists in the building, so there is no ICU care provided by the CV Hospitalist team. They manage most heart failure, acute MI, myopericarditis, primary and secondary arrhythmias admitted. If the patient is found to have a primary medical condition after initial work-up, they continue to manage the patient on their service. Patients are not transferred to the General Medicine team. The CV Hospitalist patient population covers the whole breadth of Internal Medicine as they work closely with ID, rheumatology, endocrinology, nephrology, pulmonology, GI, and heme/onc, in addition to the CV based specialists. Cardiac focused education will be provided with clinical onboarding. Through their career as a CV hospitalist, they are expected to acquire and apply an in depth understanding of cardiovascular disease, treatment, and imaging modalities. Candidates should have a passion in caring for cardiovascular patients. Our CV Hospitalists work approximately fifteen 12-hour shifts monthly, get paid for shifts in excess of that average, and work amongst their peers to request and cover time off when needed.
