Job description

Seattle Children’s is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for a Pediatric Cardiologist to join our growing practice based in Tacoma, Washington.

This regional cardiology position offers the best of both worlds: the autonomy and deep community engagement of a local practice, combined with the robust support, resources, and collaboration of a nationally recognized academic medical center. The role offers variety, including opportunities in fetal cardiology, community outreach, and the chance to help shape and grow a dynamic pediatric cardiology program in the South Sound area.
