Advanced echocardiography skills, expertise in other cardiac imaging, interest in heart failure, interest in consult service leadership and expertise in interventional cardiology would all be compatible with our service alignment. The facility has a TAVR implementation team currently laying groundwork for the start of our structural program, so this opportunity extends to candidates with expertise in structural interventions.
