Stanford Anesthesiology Is Hiring Outstanding Physicians to Join Its Team

The Cardiothoracic Anesthesia Division at Stanford is seeking candidates who have completed a fellowship in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology and/or Critical Care Medicine. National Board of Echocardiography Certification in Advanced Perioperative Transesophageal Echocardiography is required. The division is hiring at the levels of clinical assistant professor, clinical associate professor, and clinical professor.

Serving at one of the premier heart centers in the world, the Stanford Cardiothoracic Anesthesia team undertakes complex cases of more than 1,500 bypass cases annually and staffs a high-acuity, 24-bed CTICU service, with continued growth of all services anticipated. The Stanford Cardiothoracic Anesthesia team sees patients referred from across the globe. In addition to caring for a traditional cardiac surgical population, the service is heavily invested in managing heart, lung, and combined (heart-liver, heart-lung, heart-kidney) organ transplants; complex open and endovascular aortic surgeries; a large population of adults with complex congenital cardiac disease; and an active mechanical circulatory support program, which includes LVAD and ECMO (more than 100 runs per year).
