Cardiology Physician Assistant

St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group is seeking a full-time Physician Assistant to join an innovative and growing Interventional Cardiology program focused on Complex High-Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (CHIP) and Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) procedures.

This unique opportunity offers the chance to work alongside a highly skilled interventional cardiologist while helping build and expand a specialized program dedicated to treating patients with complex coronary artery disease and chronic total occlusions. Many patients are referred because they wish to avoid open-heart surgery or are not surgical candidates due to their high-risk clinical status.

Ideal candidates will thrive in a high-autonomy environment, enjoy solving complex clinical challenges, and be excited about contributing to the growth and development of a new service line. Responsibilities include outpatient follow-up care, pre-operative consultations, inpatient consultations, hospital rounding, care coordination, and outreach efforts to support program growth and provider engagement.

• Opportunity to help coordinate presentations and strengthen referral relationships throughout the community
• Flexible work environment with a focus on meeting patient and program needs
• Average patient volume of 8 to 12 patients per day
• Join a highly collegial team of physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, and support staff

In addition, providers typically receive a CME allowance and other benefits offered by their medical group employer.
