About The Position

Wellstar Medical Group is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Pediatric Cardiologist to join their established and highly collaborative pediatric cardiology team serving patients throughout the greater Atlanta region.

The position offers a primarily outpatient, clinic-based practice with a four-and-a-half-day work week and dedicated administrative time.
