EP Cardiologist
Job Description
The Electrophysiology (EP) Cardiologist is responsible for diagnosing, managing, and invasively treating complex cardiac arrhythmias and conduction defects. The role ensures the successful execution of intracardiac mapping, radiofrequency or cryoablation procedures, and advanced cardiac rhythm device implantations while maintaining elite engineering parameters and clinical patient safety metrics.
Required Qualifications * Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree from an approved medical school.
-
Completion of a Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship followed by an accredited Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship.
-
Board Certification or active Board Eligibility via the ABIM in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
-

Preferred Skills * Masterful command over 3D electroanatomical mapping suites (e.g., CARTO, EnSite), transseptal puncture techniques, and lead extraction physics.
-
Exceptional technical coordination, manual dexterity, and spatial configuration analysis.
Experience Required Successful completion of a dedicated EP fellowship footprint or active clinical practice experience handling high-volume complex ablation pipelines.
Responsibilities Duties:
Key Responsibilities * Coordinate and execute specialized EP laboratory procedures, covering complex arrhythmia mapping, atrial fibrillation ablations, and VT circuits.
-
Prepare and calibrate sophisticated electroanatomical 3D mapping equipment, intracardiac ultrasound arrays, and pacing telemetry.
-
Perform direct surgical implantations of permanent pacemakers, transvenous/subcutaneous ICDs, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices.
-
Coordinate with interventional cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, specialized EP nursing cohorts, and device clinic technicians.
