Our organization is developing a specialized critical care program that merges cardiac and neurocritical care into a cohesive, high-performing team.

We are seeking intensivists in both fields to join a collaborative, mission-oriented, and academically driven environment. You will have the opportunity to practice at the highest level of your expertise within a system that features advanced mechanical circulatory support, exceptional neurosurgical collaboration, and a newly constructed neuroscience ICU.

This position offers a chance to work alongside colleagues who value protocol-driven care, evidence-based practices, mutual respect, and innovation.

What We Do

Our specialized ICU team provides care for both cardiac and neurocritical patients across two locations:

• Mainland Campus (Pomona, NJ) - Home to our Heart & Vascular Institute, offering ECMO, cardiac surgery, advanced heart failure management, and a comprehensive Impella program.
• Atlantic City Campus - A Level II Trauma Center and Comprehensive Stroke Center, featuring our neuroscience ICU and collaboration with the Global Neurosciences Institute (GNI).

We Provide:

• Comprehensive ECMO support (VA, VV, VPA)
• Advanced mechanical circulatory devices: Impella CP, 5.5, RP Flex, and Protek Duo RVAD
• Neurocritical care for conditions such as stroke, aneurysms, status epilepticus, and neurosurgical ICU cases
• A multidisciplinary ICU culture focused on protocols, escalation discipline, and bedside leadership
• Dedicated support for innovation, clinical trials, and research in shock and neurocritical care

Key Responsibilities

• Provide exceptional critical care for complex cardiac and neurological patients
• Manage advanced support devices like ECMO and Impella, and address acute neuro emergencies
• Collaborate with cardiology, neurosurgery, and ICU teams across both campuses
• Engage in quality improvement initiatives and hospital committees
• Stay updated with advancements in critical care through continuous education
• Deliver compassionate, patient- and family-centered care
• Teach and mentor residents, fellows, and medical students
• Participate in peer review and maintain clinical standards

Who You'll Work With

You will be part of a close-knit team of critical care physicians specializing in cardiac, neuro, and high-acuity ICU care, sharing common values:

• Emphasizing clinical excellence and teamwork
• Commitment to teaching and mentorship
• Equitable workload distribution and protected downtime
• Standardized protocols for cardiogenic shock, intracranial pressure (ICP), and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) escalation

Teaching & Research

• Medical Arts Pavilion campus in Atlantic City featuring a state-of-the-art simulation lab
• Internal Medicine residents
• Medical students, with a new regional medical school on the horizon
• Cardiology fellowship
• Support for ongoing clinical trials and research
• Regular simulation sessions, case reviews, and CME content creation (VuMedi, podcasts, and conferences)

Who We're Looking For

We are looking to hire intensivists specializing in both cardiac and neurocritical care. The ideal candidate will:

• Be board certified/board eligible in Critical Care (Anesthesia, Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine, or Internal Medicine-Critical Care Medicine)
• Possess 1-2 years of post-training experience (exceptional final-year fellows will be considered)
• Have experience (or a willingness to train) in:
  • PA catheter placement and interpretation
  • TVP insertion
  • Management of ICP and neuro emergencies
• Excel in a multidisciplinary, high-acuity setting
• Be enthusiastic about shaping a program rather than merely participating in one

What You'll Get

• Competitive base salary, along with sign-on and retention bonuses
• Comprehensive malpractice coverage with tail coverage
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 403b and 457b retirement plans with employer contributions
