Job description

Heart Failure Attending Cardiologist

Location: Farmington, CT

Institution: UCONN Health

Employment Type: Full-time

Academic appointment: Commensurate with experience

About the Opportunity

UCONN Health is a well-established community-based academic teaching hospital with a nationally respected training program. We are seeking a board certified/ board-eligible Heart Failure Cardiologist to join our growing cardiovascular service line. This is a non-transplant position focused on comprehensive medical management of patients across the full spectrum of heart failure, from newly diagnosed to advanced disease.

Our program combines the collegial culture and strong patient relationships of a community setting with the academic rigor, teaching mission, and research opportunities of a university affiliated hospital. The incoming physician will help shape a high functioning, team-based heart failure program.

Location is convenient to both Boston and New York with some of the best public and private schools in the country. This academic and clinical position offers a competitive salary, superb benefits, and an excellent work-life balance.

Position Highlights

• Comprehensive medical heart failure practice: inpatient and outpatient management of HFrEF and HFpEF, including guideline-directed medical therapy optimization, diuretic management, cardiorenal care, and management of comorbid cardiovascular conditions.
• Advanced heart failure liaison role: serve as the key clinical bridge between our program and our partner transplant/advance heart failure center, coordinating timely referral, evaluation, and co-management from patients who may require mechanical circulatory support, LVAD, transplant evaluation, or advanced therapies. This position does not perform transplant or durable MCS implantation but ensures seamless, well-timed transitions of care.
• APP team leadership: Provide clinical oversight, mentorship, and collaborative leadership for a robust, established team of advanced practice providers (APRNs/PAs) who support inpatient rounding, outpatient clinic, remote monitoring, and transition of care programs.
• Teaching and academics: Supervise and mentor cardiology fellows, internal medicine residents, and students. Participate in didactics and quality improvement. Scholarly activity and clinical research participation are encouraged and supported.
• Program development: Contribute to initiatives in heart failure readmission reduction, quality improvement, remote monitoring, multidisciplinary care pathways, and early recognition of shock.

Qualifications

• MD or DO with completion of an ACGME-accredited Cardiovascular Disease fellowship.
• Advance Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology fellowship training and board certification/eligibility preferred.
• Board certification in Cardiovascular Disease required.
• Demonstrated commitment to team-based care, teaching, and collaborative practice.
• Eligible for medical licensure in Connecticut

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with productivity and quality incentives.
• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental, retirement, CME allowance, and malpractice coverage.
• A supportive, collegial environment with an engaged multidisciplinary cardiovascular team.
• Relocation assistance, sign-on bonus, loan repayment as applicable.
