About Electrophysiology Jobs
Cardiac electrophysiology is the study of the heart's electrical system. An electrophysiology study or EP requires insertion of an electrode catheter into the heart. The test is designed to determine the cause of heart rhythm disturbances and usually takes about two to four hours to perform. Some electrophysiology studies are done to diagnose abnormalities while others are done for treatment or correction of certain conditions, such as Pacemaker Implantation, ICD Insertion, or Cardiac Ablation.
Cardiac electrophysiology is considered a subspecialty of cardiology, and requires one or more years of fellowship training beyond a general cardiology fellowship. (Source: WebMD and Wikipedia)
Section Head, Cardiac Electrophysiology - Ochsner Health System
Ochsner Health System, a not-for-profit, multi-specialty healthcare delivery system dedicated to patient care, research and education, seeks a Section Head of Electrophysiology and Pacing. Candidates must be certified in Electrophysiology and have 5 years of academic practice experience.
Ochsner Health System’s Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology is growing, with a goal to become one of the Gulf South’s largest and most comprehensive centers for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders. Areas of active investigation include risk stratification for sudden cardiac death, medical treatment of arrhythmias, and device-based therapy (including patient selection for, and optimization of, cardiac resynchronization therapy). We participate in a wide variety of multicenter clinical trials, at times originating such investigations and serving as the principal site. On the teaching front, our first medical school class started January 2009.
The position and organization will afford you a superior quality of life (100% EP), a collaborative environment with your peers, generous compensation & benefits, and the flexibility and autonomy to expand the section.
The physician will be based at the Ochsner Medical Center - New Orleans (Main Campus), a 473-bed acute care hospital, named as a US News and World Report Best Hospital. Ochsner Health System was named to the American Hospital Association's "Most Wired" list for the past four years!
EP is a component of a Department of Cardiology with 38 staff physicians. Ochsner Cardiology is a world recognized leader in wellness & prevention, interventional cardiology and heart failure & transplant cardiology. We have one of the largest fellowship training programs in the country. With a team of 4 well-trained and motivated electrophysiologists and a new investment in services and equipment, we are looking for someone to build a program.
