Job Description
Our organization is a physician-led, accountable multispecialty group comprising over 650 providers, presenting a remarkable opportunity for a general non-invasive cardiologist.
Become part of a cardiovascular group practice with 20 physicians, seamlessly integrated within our health system, providing care across the region, including telemedicine and outreach initiatives. The Heart Institute offers a comprehensive cardiovascular program featuring numerous specialized services such as an accredited Chest Pain Center, a Joint Commission Certified Stroke Center, a Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery program, and a CVOR that performed over 400 surgeries last year. Additionally, we have a growing cardiovascular research program, a dedicated Heart Failure Program, an advanced electrophysiology lab with Pulsed Field Ablation, a robust structural heart program (including TAVR, mTEER, tTEER, Watchman, PFO/ASD), and a specialized prevention and lifestyle management clinic. Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons collaborate with hospital administration to co-manage the cardiovascular service line.
Support for this role includes: 21 Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), 3 Cardiac Surgeons, 4 Vascular Surgeons, a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (ICU), CVOR, CVICU, and a step-down unit, along with 74 primary and specialty clinic locations.

The clinic operates during traditional hours from Monday to Friday. The chosen candidate will primarily work at the main campus in Boise, with outreach clinics scheduled one to two times monthly.

- Ability to secure privileges at SARMC-Boise and other affiliated hospitals as necessary, along with valid controlled substance registration with the Board of Pharmacy and DEA
