The Department of Critical Care Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Florida is expanding a cardiothoracic and vascular service line in the ICU to deliver world class care to complex patients with complex cardiology, thoracic, vascular, heart transplant and lung transplant related conditions. This unit would allow for centralization and management optimization of critically ill patients with cardiology (AMI, heart failure), mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, LVAD, RVAD), heart/lung transplant, thoracic surgery and complex vascular surgery needs.  We are looking to selectively recruit intensivists with cardiovascular critical care training including: Anesthesia-Critical Care, Cardiology-Critical Care, Medicine-Critical Care, EM-Critical Care, or Surgery-Critical Care with dedicated experience in cardiovascular and cardiac surgical intensive care.

Successful candidates will be expected to provide exceptional patient care in a multidisciplinary setting, contribute to the education of residents/fellows in the surgical and medical intensive care units, demonstrate teamwork with Advanced Practice Providers, and contribute significantly to increase research productivity of the Critical Care Department. 

The ICU at Mayo Clinic in Florida is a vigorous 54-bed unit with several subspecialties that cares for a broad array of medical and surgical critical illnesses in support of a quaternary hospital. Skill sets related to the complex care of cardiothoracic, transplant, vascular, and general surgical patients along with knowledge of various modes of mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, Impella, etc.) are ideal. This opportunity provides a robust challenge for the combined medical and surgical critical care intensivist.
