If you are an established, confident interventionalist looking for high clinical autonomy, exceptional earning potential, and a practice environment where your procedural judgment isn't second-guessed by corporate metrics, this opportunity was built for you .

Sky Lakes Medical Center is seeking a full-time, board-certified or board-eligible Interventional Cardiologist to join a seasoned, collaborative cardiology team of three Interventional Cardiologists and one General Cardiologist . Practicing as the primary cardiovascular anchor for over 80,000 residents across Southern Oregon and Northern California, you will step into a turnkey, newly renovated Cath Lab with a protected 40-hour work week, outstanding compensation stability, and a deeply rewarding community mission .

The Practice: Balanced Schedule, Procedural Freedom & Modern Tech

• The "4+1" Lifestyle Schedule (40-Hour Work Week): Experience true work-life balance built for career longevity. Enjoy a structured Monday Friday, 40-hour schedule featuring 4 days dedicated to clinic and/or cath lab procedures and 1 fully protected administrative day each week . Zero "pajama-time" charting on weekends your admin day keeps documentation, peer reviews, and inbox management contained strictly within work hours .
• Newly Renovated Cath Lab: Perform diagnostics and interventions in a modern, completely updated Cath Lab equipped with state-of-the-art cardiovascular imaging and technology .
• Focused Interventional Scope (No Structural Burden): Sky Lakes does not operate a structural heart program (no TAVR, MitraClip, or complex structural procedures). This creates a clean, streamlined procedural focus centered strictly on high-yield coronary interventional cases and general inpatient/outpatient management .
• Established 24/7 CT Surgery Phone Backup & Regional Transfer Network: We do not maintain on-site cardiothoracic surgery. Instead, our interventionalists operate with full clinical confidence supported by 24/7 direct telephone consultation with a regional Cardiothoracic Surgery team , alongside a seamless, well-established transfer network to our regional partner in Medford, OR . While this model can intimidate early-career fellows, it is an ideal, high-autonomy fit for an experienced operator with mature case-selection judgment.
• Robotic Technology Openness: We do not currently have vascular robotics on-site; however, hospital executive leadership is fully open to investing in robotic procedural platforms for the right candidate seeking to build or expand their procedural scope .
• Procedural Mix: Broad-spectrum coronary interventional care and outpatient cardiology . Device/pacemaker implantation ability is welcome and a definite plus, though not required . CT surgery and complex EP ablations are coordinated off-site .
