We are seeking a board-certified Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiologist to serve as Medical Director for a Transplant/LVAD (MCS) program. This physician leader will provide clinical oversight, drive quality and regulatory performance, and partner with section and surgical leadership to advance program growth and academic impact.

  • Leadership & oversight: Provide clinical oversight across inpatient and outpatient services for advanced heart failure, LVAD/MCS, and heart transplant patients.
  • Quality & compliance: Lead quality improvement initiatives and ensure ongoing compliance with key regulatory/accrediting bodies (e.g., UNOS/CMS).
  • Program development: Drive strategic growth and operational excellence for the MCS/Transplant program, in close collaboration with Advanced HF section leadership and transplant surgical directors.
  • Team-based care: Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team including advanced HF physicians, advanced practice providers, and trainees/fellows.
  • Clinical expertise: Demonstrate depth across advanced heart failure care, including inpatient, outpatient, and outreach services.
  • Academic contribution: Participate in an academic environment with an active cardiology fellowship and opportunities for teaching, scholarship, and clinical innovation.
  • Subspecialty opportunities: Opportunity to participate in established programs/clinics such as CardioMEMS, amyloidosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac sarcoid, and a robust certified pulmonary hypertension program.
  • Regional impact: Engage with a multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock initiative that supports multiple owned and affiliated medical centers across the state and Gulf South region.
  • Experience: Minimum of 5 years post-fellowship experience with expertise in mechanical circulatory support and transplantation.

Community: New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans offers a distinctive mix of culture, cuisine, music, and history—along with easy access to outdoor recreation and Gulf Coast destinations.

  • Culture & music: A world-famous live music scene (jazz, brass bands, and more) with venues and festivals year-round.
  • Food: Renowned local cuisine—from Creole and Cajun classics to acclaimed contemporary dining.
  • Arts & history: Historic architecture, museums, and a vibrant arts community across the city.
  • Festivals: Major events including Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, plus countless neighborhood celebrations.
  • Neighborhoods: Diverse communities with distinct character, from historic districts to family-friendly residential areas.
  • Outdoors: Proximity to bayous, lakes, and Gulf Coast recreation, including boating and fishing.
  • Travel: Convenient air travel options and weekend access to regional destinations across the Gulf South.

Facility Location
The festivals, the restaurants and the night life are a few of the main attractions in New Orleans, and there’s always the French Quarter, established by the French in 1718, that is a must go place. Bourbon Street is where the upscale lounges and historic restaurants and jazz clubs are to be found. No wonder the first opera in North America was performed in New Orleans!
