The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio is recruiting highly motivated and skilled physicians with fellowship training in critical care medicine.  These physicians will be directly employed by the Heart and Vascular institute/ The Christ Hospital Physicians. These physicians will work alongside academic minded specialists in cardiothoracic and cardiology, staffing our CVICU.  This is a talented and multidisciplinary group (with backgrounds in critical care medicine, cardiology, advanced heart failure, emergency medicine and cardiac anesthesiology).  The Christ Hospital has a robust and advanced cardiothoracic program and is a regional referral center for cardiogenic shock, LVAD, ECMO, heart transplantation, multivalvular, and complex cardiac care. The CCM physicians will have a balanced schedule sharing time equally as cardiac intensivists in our 28 bed CVICU.  Critical care cases will include managing a wide range of critical illness and cardiac conditions such as severe valvular disease, AMI, cardiogenic shock, dissections, mechanical cardiac support, heart transplantation and chronic heart failure.
