The Division of Critical Care at Children's Mercy Kansas City is seeking a full-time Cardiac intensivist to join its Division. The Division currently provides coverage of a 24-bed dedicated cardiac intensive care unit and the candidate will join a team of 10 cardiac intensivists.

The cardiac ICU cares for a growing population of infants and children with congenital and acquired heart disease. The program currently performs approximately 400 cardiopulmonary bypass cases annually and has a growing cardiomyopathy/cardiac transplantation program that includes a Ventricular Assist Device program.

The institution has an active ECMO program that performs approximately 40 cases annually and has mobile ECMO capabilities. Clinical services are comprised of a team-based model with an excellent collaborative network of peers from various cardiology areas of expertise (heart failure, interventional cardiology, imaging, electrophysiology, etc.) and 4 excellent cardiovascular surgical colleagues. Clinical teams are supported with an outstanding group of APPs providing 24/7 coverage. PICU and Cardiology fellows rotate through the unit and the Division has just started its 4th year training program for a CICU fellow.

The institution has recently announced plans for construction of a new Critical Care tower that will expand the existing unit to an integrated 48 bed progressive care unit to care for all heart center inpatients in a single place. The ideal candidate will have received dual board certification in critical care/cardiology or received focused cardiac ICU training in addition to critical care training. Faculty appointments are available through an affiliation with the University of Missouri-Kansas City and will be commensurate with experience.
