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.
