The Division of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Medicine within the Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Center at Cleveland Clinic Children's is seeking an experienced Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care physician with excellent clinical skills and a strong history of leadership to serve as the Medical Director of our Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU). The position will have a primary appointment in the Division of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine in the Department of Heart, Vascular & Thoracic and a secondary appointment in the Division of Pediatric Critical Care in the Department of Integrated Hospital Care in the Children's Institute. The successful candidate will be either dual boarded in pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care medicine or will have completed a 4th year advanced pediatric cardiac critical care fellowship.

The medical director will join our existing team of 9 pediatric cardiac intensivists, 14 advanced practice providers, and 12 pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care fellows to provide high quality, equitable, culturally responsive family-centered care to critically ill infants, children, adolescents, and adults with congenital and acquired heart disease across the full spectrum of disease complexity. The medical director will collaborate with nursing leaders to oversee clinical care and daily operations for the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit and Intermediate Care Unit. In addition to oversight of clinical care, their responsibilities will include daily management of capacity and throughput, oversight of quality and safety and patient and family experience initiatives, and active contribution to activities related to safety and quality registries (PC4/PAC3), and other responsibilities related to daily operations.

The 33 bed Cardiac Care Unit, including 15 Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit beds and 18 Cardiac Intermediate Care and Cardiac Step-down beds, cares for 750 admissions annually. In addition to pre-and post-operative care, the PCICU provides comprehensive heart failure/transplant services, including mechanical support (ECMO and VAD), leveraging comprehensive ICU technologies (inhaled nitric oxide, renal replacement therapy, advanced physiologic displays, and predictive analytics). Our PCICU team also works closely with our advanced Fetal Care Center, with dedicated fetal care coordinators and a fetal surgery program, including fetal cardiac surgery.

In addition to clinical responsibilities, an interest in teaching and research is desirable with multiple opportunities for both. We have an active fellowship program with 16 trainees. Research is supported by the Cardiovascular Innovation Center for Pediatric and Adult Congenital Research, which has more than 30 research professionals supporting clinical and translational research in our Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Center. Cleveland Clinic also boasts a robust infrastructure to support rigorous work in quality and safety and continuous improvement. Cleveland Clinic Children's physicians enjoy a collegial work environment within the framework of a large academic group practice, a competitive salary enhanced by a very attractive benefits package, and the opportunity to live in one of the nation's great cities. A faculty appointment at a rank commensurate with experience will be with the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
