Job Description

Saint Luke's and the Mid America Heart Institute (MAHI) in Kansas City are seeking an outstanding BC/BE fellowship-trained electrophysiologist to join our nationally recognized EP team. This opportunity offers a chance to practice within a collaborative, multi-site program that serves patients across the greater Kansas City metro area. The position is based at Saint Luke's East Hospital (SLE) in Lee's Summit, MO for clinic with ablations and device implants performed at both MAHI and SLE. We welcome and are positioned to support those with an interest in building a career in electrophysiology outcomes research.

About the program:

• MAHI experts have long been pioneers in electrophysiology, leading the way in new treatments for heart rhythm disorders, taking a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to a-fib treatment, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle modification in conjunction with medication and ablation procedures to achieve the best clinical outcomes

• Saint Luke's Electrophysiology Program takes a multidisciplinary approach, partnering with cardiothoracic surgeons, structural echocardiographers, APPs, EP device nurses, EP lab staff, and cardiac CT/MRI technologists to tailor treatment plans--especially for complex a-fib cases

• The cardiovascular team at MAHI includes more than 65 cardiologists and 55 advanced practice providers, with 8 of the cardiologists specializing in EP--underscoring the high procedural volume and deeply collaborative clinical environment

• Saint Luke's electrophysiologists perform the full spectrum of catheter ablation procedures, including: pulsed field ablation and radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia ablation, premature ventricular contraction ablation, including bipolar ablation, typical and atypical atrial flutter ablation, Wolff-Parkinson-White ablation, including cryoablation for septal accessory pathways, and ventricular tachycardia ablation, including epicardial catheter ablation and ethanol ablation

• MAHI pioneered the nation's first virtual a-fib clinic to support continuous care between visits and procedures, and its electrophysiologists played a key role in advancing pulsed field ablation--a transformative therapy for atrial fibrillation

• Saint Luke's pioneered the region's first LAAO procedure in 2005 and recently marked its 1,000th Watchman implant, while researchers continue advancing patient care by developing an AI algorithm to identify ideal candidates for LAAO

• Our advanced device program offers a full spectrum of cutting-edge therapies, including pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or biventricular devices, conduction system pacing, subcutaneous and extravascular defibrillators (ICDs), phrenic nerve stimulation for central sleep apnea and cardiac contractility modulation for heart failure

• Opportunity for participation in our Clinical Scholars Program which offers protected time for research, association with highly experienced colleagues in outcomes research, and a well-developed support infrastructure.

• Saint Luke's MAHI, affiliated with the University of Missouri-Kansas City, offers fellowship programs in General Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, Structural Intervention, Electrophysiology, and Heart Failure/Transplant--including a 24-month EP fellowship that offers opportunity to train up to three fellows simultaneously

• Extremely competitive career employment package not based on productivity in addition to excellent benefits such as medical, dental, vision insurance, malpractice insurance, tax-deferred retirement plan with employer match & PTO
