Director, Pediatric Advanced Heart Failure Therapies
The Pediatric Heart Center at The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) and Albert Einstein School of Medicine is seeking a pediatric heart failure and transplant cardiologist to join our dynamic and growing faculty and serve as the Director of the Pediatric Advanced Heart Therapies Program. Our pediatric heart transplant program was started in 2009 and is the UNOS approved pediatric component of the Montefiore Einstein Heart Transplant program.
The Director of the Advanced Heart Therapies will be responsible for an active advanced heart failure program caring for infants and children with genetic, idiopathic, and acquired cardiomyopathies and pediatric and adult congenital heart disease patients with chronic heart failure. The role includes responsibilities for patient care, administration, program development, safety, and quality. CHAM is an active participant in the PHTS and the ACTION network and is participating in six multicenter research studies in heart failure and transplantation. The mechanical circulatory support program has access to the full range of available ventricular support devices and the Montefiore Einstein Heart Transplant Program is a leader in the use of DCD donors and Transmedics Support.
The candidate must be qualified to serve as the primary pediatric heart transplant physician as delineated by the OTPN. Our ideal candidate will be an energetic, enthusiastic leader who works well in the team environment. Working closely with the Co-Directors of the Pediatric Heart Center, Dr. Ibrahim Abdullah and Dr. Nicole Sutton, the Director of Advanced Heart Therapies will be able to expand the reach of our outstanding advanced heart failure care throughout the region and internationally. We particularly value applicants with research expertise and an interest in trainee education. The candidate must be an outstanding clinician dedicated to the care of hospitalized children and their families, and an excellent teacher of learners at all levels.
