SLUCare Physician Group is the academic medical practice of SSM Health, St. Louis with more than 600 health care providers in hospitals and medical offices throughout the St. Louis region.  Our physicians are among the most highly trained in their fields: more than 50 specialties in all. We have national and international experts, renowned for research and innovations in medicine.

The physician’s clinical role will focus on the inpatient management of patients with shock and advanced heart failure.  All our physicians have outpatient and/or outreach clinics. Additional imaging responsibilities will depend on the candidate’s prior experience and interest.  The physician’s administrative role will focus on protocol development, specifically with regard to percutaneous mechanical cardiac support and escalation of pharmacologic treatment. 

We are seeking applicants for a board certified/board eligible cardiologist to lead our efforts in the inpatient management of cardiogenic shock and advanced heart failure at SSM-Saint Louis University Hospital.  The successful candidate will develop inpatient shock management protocols in an academic setting and lay the groundwork for a hub-and-spoke referral network.  Preference will be given to candidates with subspecialty fellowship training in interventional heart failure or advanced heart failure or interventional cardiology.

This role offers the possibility of Medical Directorship depending on the candidate’s experience and documented commitment to program development.  Academic appointment will be commensurate with credentials and experience.

In addition to treating patients, SLUCare physicians educate the next generation of health care professionals at SSM Health St. Louis.   Our teaching is guided by our Catholic Jesuit tradition, balancing the science of medicine with the soul of it — keeping people first in all we do.
