About The Position

The Department of Critical Care Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Florida is expanding a cardiothoracic and vascular service line in the ICU to deliver world-class care to complex patients with complex cardiology, thoracic, vascular, heart transplant, and lung transplant-related conditions. This unit will allow for centralization and management optimization of critically ill patients with cardiology (AMI, heart failure), mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, LVAD, RVAD), heart/lung transplant, thoracic surgery, and complex vascular surgery needs. We are looking to selectively recruit intensivists with cardiovascular critical care training, including Anesthesia-Critical Care, Cardiology-Critical Care, Medicine-Critical Care, EM-Critical Care, or Surgery-Critical Care with dedicated experience in cardiovascular and cardiac surgical intensive care. The ideal candidate will possess knowledge in advanced cardiopulmonary physiology, hemodynamics, and multimodal monitoring, clinical knowledge of a wide array of cardiac surgical procedures, comprehensive management of cardiac and cardiac surgical complications, focused cardiac ultrasound (board certification/eligibility preferred), mechanical circulatory support and complications, pacing, defibrillation, electrophysiology, and extracorporeal life support technology. Expected skills include comfort with interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic, vascular, and transplant OR and procedural areas, visibility amongst heart, lung, and vascular team members, mobility and adaptability between medical and surgical disciplines, good communication, high emotional quotient (EQ) for collaboration and mediation, leadership, and resource stewardship. Ideal research interests include outcomes research, big-data, information technology, predictive analytics, and using quality improvement tools. This approach aims to optimize patient care, improve outcomes, optimize volumes, and standardize processes, allowing specialty groups to focus on their patients, reduce burnout, and enable future growth of service lines. This is a full-time critical care position. Candidates must be ABA, ABEM, ABIM, or ABS critical care medicine board-certified or board-eligible. We are interested in applicants with a minimum of two years of combined experience in both surgical and medical critical care. Candidates must have a strong commitment to an academic career in critical care medicine. Previous experience in clinical research is preferred. Successful candidates will provide exceptional patient care in a multidisciplinary setting, contribute to the education of residents/fellows in the surgical and medical intensive care units, demonstrate teamwork with Advanced Practice Providers, and contribute significantly to increasing research productivity of the Critical Care Department. The ICU at Mayo Clinic in Florida is a 54-bed unit with several subspecialties caring for a broad array of medical and surgical critical illnesses in support of a quaternary hospital. Skill sets related to the complex care of cardiothoracic, transplant, vascular, and general surgical patients, along with knowledge of various modes of mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, Impella, etc.), are ideal. This opportunity provides a robust challenge for the combined medical and surgical critical care intensivist. Candidates must be eligible for an unrestricted Florida license.
