As our Division Chief of Cardiac Anesthesiology, you will lead and grow a high-volume academic cardiovascular program at CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center - Bergan Mercy, a 391-bed Level I Trauma Center and flagship academic medical center in Omaha, Nebraska. You'll provide strategic leadership for a dedicated team of 6-8 cardiac anesthesiologists within a collaborative department of 23 anesthesiologists and 27 CRNAs while helping shape the future of cardiac anesthesiology through clinical excellence, faculty development, recruitment, quality improvement, and program growth. Working closely with cardiac surgery, cardiology, and hospital leadership, you'll help advance a comprehensive cardiovascular program that includes structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support, all supported by the EPIC electronic medical record system.

You will enjoy teaching and mentoring residents and medical students through Creighton University School of Medicine's newly established Anesthesiology Residency Program, with opportunities to develop a future cardiac anesthesia fellowship, expand research and quality initiatives, support faculty academic advancement, and help build one of the region's premier academic cardiac anesthesiology programs.

This includes a starting bonus or education stipend, 13 weeks of paid time off, a generous CME allowance, a 401(k) with employer match, relocation assistance, paid malpractice insurance with tail coverage, and reimbursement for medical licensure expenses.
