Annually, division members read over 18,000 echocardiograms, over 1400 fetal echoes, over 350 cardiac MRIs, and over 400 CT angiograms.
The Pediatric Cardiologist will share in all clinical aspects, educational efforts, program development, and quality improvement initiatives associated with the echocardiography service. Physicians provide rotating coverage of the echo lab, and depending on qualifications, night and weekend call for emergency transesophageal echocardiograms or assistance with interpreting complex transthoracic studies.

In addition to clinical service, there is both opportunity and expectation for academic work, including education, investigation/research and administration, as well as advocacy.
