WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS POSITION.

The University of Texas Health at San Antonio is seeking applications from accomplished, academic, board-certified cardiologists to serve as Director of Cardiac Imaging within the Janey and Dolph Briscoe Division of Cardiology in the Department of Medicine. Reporting to the Chief of Cardiology, the Director will work collaborative with Division leadership, the Heart and Vascular Institute, and University Health System to build a robust program in advanced cardiac imaging. The successful candidate will be an outstanding, nationally-recognized leader with a substantial record of research, teaching, clinical, and administrative accomplishments in the field of cardiology and advanced cardiac imaging. S/he will have the in-depth knowledge and ability to effectively lead physicians, researchers, and educators, while also growing the scholarly activity of the Division.

University Health System’s (UHS) flagship facility, University Hospital (UH) includes a Level I Trauma center with over 700-beds, maintains Nursing Magnet Status, ACC Chest Pain Center accreditation, and Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention accreditation. UHS recently completed a significant expansion and redesign of the Advanced Diagnostic Center. Cardiology, vascular, pulmonology, gastroenterology and neurology services are now all located within one 46,000-square-foot center—nearly an acre of the most advanced patient care available. The new center includes spacious and flexible operating suites; two hybrid catheterization labs; five state-of-the art cardiac catheterization labs; 30 dedicated pre-op and PACU beds; & direct access to emergency and trauma facilities. These new services and technologies expand access to minimally-invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures, giving patients better treatment options -- and a way back to their lives sooner. The planned construction of a new bed tower will facilitate even further expansion of Cardiology and HVI services.
