The successful candidate will provide attending-level critical care for a high-acuity cardiothoracic population, including patients after cardiac and thoracic surgery; patients with cardiogenic shock, respiratory failure, pulmonary hypertension, advanced heart failure, or complex arrhythmias; and patients requiring temporary or durable mechanical circulatory support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, ventricular assist devices, Impella support, or intra-aortic balloon pump therapy.

Primary responsibilities include providing clinical coverage in the CTICU at UPMC Presbyterian; leading multidisciplinary ICU rounds; developing and implementing evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic plans; supervising and teaching fellows, residents, medical students, and advanced practice providers; maintaining timely and accurate documentation; participating in quality improvement, patient safety, and operational initiatives; and supporting an inclusive learning and clinical environment. Faculty may also have opportunities to provide clinical care in other ICUs across the UPMC Health System based on departmental needs, clinical expertise, and mutual agreement.
