ACHD Cardiologist The Division of Pediatric Cardiology at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center and the Heart Center of the Children's Hospital of New Orleans (CHNOLA) is seeking a Cardiologist with expertise in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) to join its growing ACHD program. The applicant should have specific expertise in adult congenital heart disease and be board certified/eligible in ACHD. We are striving to become ACHD accredited and will be the only accredited program in the state of Louisiana. The candidate would be expected to grow this expanding program by performing clinical ACHD duties in both the outpatient and inpatient settings.
CHNOLA is the founding member of a 6-hospital health system titled LCMC (Louisiana Children's Medical Center). Our program has formed relationships with all of these five other adult hospitals but particularly strong ACHD partnerships with two – Touro Infirmary and University Medical Center. In addition, LCMC recently announced a merger with Tulane University Medical Center. We are conducting conversations which explore ACHD partnership with Tulane. Additional opportunities exist in pulmonary hypertension, exercise physiology, our Fontan clinic, coronary artery disease/anomalies, imaging and other Heart Center programs depending on the candidate's expertise and interest. Academic appointment will be at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor.
The Heart Center Faculty includes a team of 23 physicians including six cardiac intensivists, two cardiac surgeons, and 5 cardiac anesthesiologists. Subspeciality care in the Heart Center includes non-invasive imaging, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, expertise in Fontan management, home-monitoring, neurodevelopment, pulmonary hypertension, pediatric coronary artery disease, and heart failure. Currently, approximately 340 heart catheterizations (75% interventional) and over 300 cardiothoracic surgeries, and 10,000 ambulatory visits are performed each year at Children's Hospital New Orleans.
