Responsibilities
Ascension Borgess is looking for a 5th year Fellow to join our SHD Department.
This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to partner with Ascension Borgess to provide medical services to patients.
Position Highlights:
+ Competitive Salary with CME allowance
+ Starting Bonus and Relocation Reimbursement
+ Medical, Dental, and Vision
+ PTO, CME Days and Paid Holidays
+ Long and Short-term Disability
+ Malpractice Insurance with Tail Coverage
+ 403B and 401K with Employer Match
The SHD Fellowship at Michigan State University/Ascension Borgess Hospital offers one fellow the opportunity for a 5th year of Advanced Interventional Fellowship training focusing on high risk PCI's like CHIP & CTO, and Structural Heart Disease interventions like Valvuloplasty, TAVR, MitraClip, Watchman, Angiovac and Alcohol Septal Ablation. Advanced training is also provided in peripheral vascular interventions, carotid artery stenting and angiography, pacemaker implantation (optional), Rotablator atherectomy, Angiojet thrombectomy, intravascular ultrasound, physiologic assessment of lesions using Doppler and pressure measurement techniques, acute MI management and interventions, training distal protection techniques, and a variety of other newer technical modalities.
The patient population in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory allows the fellow to gain knowledge of multiple manifestations of structural heart disease. Fellows rotate through the catheterization laboratory for one year. The objective is to make all fellows’ educational experiences more uniform from month to month. The first time a fellow rotates through the catheterization laboratory, many of the concepts of pathophysiology and management will be new. It is our hope that with repetition of a core didactic session, in addition to clinical experience obtained from prior rotations, the fellow will learn new layers of complexity each time. It is expected that the case mix will vary from month to month, allowing for teaching opportunities outside of those outlined below.
Central to the teaching mission is the use of the fellow’s physical diagnostic skills in concert with the array of invasive and non-invasive, diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available. Fellows should become facile with reading electrocardiograms, chest radiographs, hemodynamic tracings and coronary angiograms, vascular angiography and the recognition of basic echocardiographic anatomy.
Ascension Borgess Hospital is actively involved in five to ten basic and clinical cardiovascular research studies per year. The fellows are given ample opportunity to become meaningful participants in research on new devices and techniques in both the pre-clinical and clinical phases. It is anticipated that each fellow will participate in one or more research projects during his/her fellowship.
The fellowship also provides a variety of other teaching and learning opportunities including formal didactic sessions, weekly clinical cardiovascular catheterization conferences, monthly journal club, a bi-monthly M&M conference designed to improve outcomes, troubleshoot problems and increase proficiency, and other CME opportunities.
Requirements:
+ Minimum of 12 months experience in cardiac catheterization, angiography and coronary interventions
+ Completion and passing of all three USMLE steps
+ ABIM board certified in Cardiovascular Disease and board certified or board eligible in interventional cardiology by the start of the program year
+ The accepted applicant must obtain a full Michigan license
+ A valid ECFMG certificate for all foreign medical graduates
+ Completion of previous interventional cardiology fellowship training is required
