Lahey Hospital, part of Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH), is a 335-bed Level I trauma center with a dynamic and high-volume STEMI program. Our cardiac catheterization lab performs approximately 4,000 procedures annually, including over 1,000 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), making us one of the region’s busiest and most advanced interventional cardiology centers.

We care for individuals with complex cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease, and our structural heart program is rapidly expanding, offering cutting‑edge procedures such as TAVR, MitraClip, TriClip, and PFO/ASD closure.

You bring curiosity and drive to the role—excited to learn and continuously expand your knowledge in the ever-evolving world of interventional cardiology.

If you're ready to grow your career in a supportive, innovative, and high-performing environment, we want to hear from you.
