Interventional Cardiologist | UNC Health Blue Ridge


Help Build the Future of Heart Care in Western North Carolina


Morganton, North Carolina


What if your next opportunity gave you more than a place to practice interventional cardiology? What if it gave you the opportunity to help shape what comes next?


UNC Health Blue Ridge is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Interventional Cardiologist to join our growing cardiovascular team in Morganton, North Carolina.


With new GE cath lab equipment, approved plans for cath lab expansion, a daytime STEMI program, and a strong referral network spanning three counties, this is an exciting time to join our program.


We're looking for an interventional cardiologist who wants to practice excellent medicine while helping us continue to expand access to advanced cardiovascular care for the communities of Western North Carolina.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out


A Cardiology Program Positioned for Growth


This isn't simply about stepping into a position. It's an opportunity to become an important part of a cardiovascular program investing in its future.


You'll benefit from:

• New GE equipment in the cardiac catheterization lab
• Approved cath lab expansion plans
• Daytime STEMI program
• High referral volume generated by 14+ family medicine practices across three counties
• Cardiology clinic conveniently located on the main hospital campus, creating greater continuity between inpatient, outpatient, and procedural care
• Mix of interventional, inpatient, and outpatient cardiology
• Opportunity for potential affiliation with UNC Cardiology for the right candidate

A Schedule Designed with Physicians in Mind


We believe a rewarding career should leave room for a rewarding life.


Typical schedule:

• Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
• Friday: 8:00 AM-12:00 PM
• Call: Manageable call schedule
• Employment: Hospital-employed through Blue Ridge Medical Group

The result is an opportunity to practice at a high level while still enjoying everything Western North Carolina has to offer outside of medicine.


The Cardiologist We're Looking For


We're looking for more than someone to fill a position. We're looking for a physician who is excited about the opportunity to grow with a cardiovascular program and help shape its future.


The ideal candidate will be:

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Interventional Cardiology
• Collaborative and team-oriented
• An excellent communicator
• Committed to high-quality, patient-centered cardiovascular care
• Excited about contributing to the growth of an interventional cardiology program

Two to five years of experience is preferred, but new graduates are encouraged to apply.


Why Your Work Matters Here


Patients shouldn't have to leave their community to receive exceptional heart care.


At UNC Health Blue Ridge, we're continuing to invest in cardiovascular services so more patients can receive advanced care closer to home.


As an Interventional Cardiologist, you'll have an opportunity to make a visible difference, not only for individual patients, but for cardiovascular care across the region.


Build relationships. Grow a program. Expand access. Change lives.


Compensation & Benefits


UNC Health Blue Ridge offers a comprehensive package designed to support you professionally, financially, and personally, including:

• Competitive compensation
• Relocation assistance
• Professional liability coverage
• Short- and long-term disability insurance
• 403(b) retirement and savings plan

Build Your Career Where Others Come to Get Away


Your career is only part of your life. Where you live matters, too.


Morganton sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by some of North Carolina's most beautiful outdoor destinations.


When the workday ends, your options are pretty exceptional:

• Lake James State Park for boating, fishing, swimming, camping, and mountain biking
• Pisgah National Forest for hiking, waterfalls, and mountain adventures
• Linville Gorge, often called the "Grand Canyon of the East"
• South Mountains State Park for waterfalls, mountain streams, hiking, and outdoor recreation
• Local restaurants, shopping, arts, live music, wineries, and breweries
• A welcoming community with the charm and pace of Western North Carolina

Don't Just Join a Cardiology Program. Help Build What's Next.
