Job Details

Cardiac Hospitalist

The Cardiac Hospitalist program is a collaboration between the Division of Hospital Medicine and the Division of Cardiology at UCSF. Cardiac hospitalists staff four shifts on two distinct services: Advanced Heart Failure service (day and night coverage) and the General Cardiology service (swing, and night coverage).

The Advanced Heart Failure (AHF) service day hospitalist provides inpatient care to patients who have advanced heart failure, severe pulmonary hypertension, and those who are pre‑ and post‑heart transplantation. The AHF cardiologist and hospitalist round on patients together and make medical decisions collaboratively in a co‑management model. On the night shift, the hospitalist cross‑covers and admits new patients to Advanced Heart Failure, Advanced Lung Disease, Cardiology post‑procedure, and LVAD services.

The hospitalist roles on the General Cardiology service involve working collaboratively with the other members of the general cardiology team, including cardiology attendings, fellows, residents, and APPs, to ensure outstanding medical care for cardiac patients. During the swing and night shifts, the hospitalist is responsible for triage of patients from the ED, new admissions, and cross‑coverage of the patients on the service.

The Cardiac Hospitalist program is dedicated to providing excellent specialized medical care to patients with cardiac disease. The service exemplifies the unique spirit of collaboration between the Division of Hospital Medicine and Division of Cardiology at UCSF Medical Center.
