Responsibilities

As part of its efforts to expand scholarly and clinical activities, the Department of Pediatrics at the Whiddon College of Medicine, University of South Alabama, is seeking a boardcertified/board-eligible (BC/BE) Pediatric Cardiologist for a faculty position. The ideal candidate should be comfortable managing both inpatient and outpatient general pediatric cardiology cases, as well as performing non-invasive testing, including EKG, Holter/Event monitoring, exercise stress testing, and echocardiography.

The Pediatric Cardiology division manages more than 3,000 outpatient visits annually.
