General Cardiology Physician

Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist Sands-Constellation Heart & Vascular Institute

The Sands-Constellation Heart & Vascular Institute at Rochester Regional Health is seeking a fellowship-trained Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist to join an established, dedicated Advanced Heart Failure team in Rochester, New York.

This is a true Advanced Heart Failure practice not a general cardiology position with a Heart Failure component. The role offers meaningful involvement in the care of complex heart failure patients across the continuum, including cardiogenic shock, dedicated CICU care, temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, advanced hemodynamics, and destination LVAD therapy.

For physicians drawn to the clinical complexity of Advanced Heart Failure, but who are not specifically seeking a career centered around heart transplantation, this offers a distinctive opportunity to practice at high acuity within a collaborative, well-supported cardiovascular institute.

Sands-Constellation Heart & Vascular Institute provides comprehensive Advanced Heart Failure care across a broad regional referral network.

Dedicated Advanced Heart Failure practice with fellowship-trained HF physicians

Dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) with strong Advanced Heart Failure physician involvement

Active cardiogenic shock program, including temporary mechanical circulatory support and ECMO

Clinical research and trials supported by dedicated infrastructure and staff

Multidisciplinary collaboration across Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Critical Care, Genetics, Pharmacy, and Advanced Practice Providers

This role is designed for a physician who wants to practice Advanced Heart Failure at meaningful clinical acuity while working within an experienced, multidisciplinary team.

LVAD evaluation, management, and longitudinal care

Participation in ECMO and mechanical circulatory support management

Care of patients with amyloidosis, inherited cardiomyopathies, and complex HFpEF

Teaching and mentorship of medical students, residents, fellows, nurses, and Advanced Practice Providers

Opportunities for clinical research, trials, quality improvement, and program development

This is an opportunity to build or advance an Advanced Heart Failure practice with the clinical complexity, infrastructure, and multidisciplinary support needed to care for some of the region's most complex cardiovascular patients.

Physicians are supported by experienced subspecialists, dedicated Advanced Practice Providers, established referral networks, and the resources of a growing cardiovascular institute. The program provides opportunities to develop clinical expertise, participate in education and research, contribute to program development, and help shape the continued growth of Advanced Heart Failure services.

If you are looking for a practice where Advanced Heart Failure is the focus and cardiogenic shock, CICU medicine, mechanical circulatory support, and destination LVAD therapy are part of the clinical experience we'd welcome the opportunity to talk with you.

Rochester Regional Health offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package, including:

• Competitive base salary with quality incentive opportunity
• $50,000 sign-on bonus

Academic & Professional Growth

A smaller fellowship cohort creates the opportunity for meaningful faculty-fellow relationships and hands-on teaching, while allowing Advanced Heart Failure physicians to contribute to the development of future cardiologists.

Physicians may participate in clinical research and trials through established research infrastructure and dedicated support staff.

There are also opportunities to contribute to clinical pathway development, quality initiatives, outcomes improvement, regional outreach, and expansion of Advanced Heart Failure services.
