Head of Cardiology

The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City seeks a board-certified (ACVIM or ECVIM) or board-eligible cardiologist to lead our practice and work with administration to further expand and grow AMC's cardiology services. They will help assure excellence in postgraduate teaching and training, oversee our ACVIM cardiology residency training program, and encourage clinical investigation. They will also ensure outstanding client experience and build relationships with the veterinary community. DVM or equivalent degree is required. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced DVM in cardiology looking to take his / her career to the next level and work in a newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility.

Clinical and / or basic science research experience is preferred. Opportunities for collaborative research exist both at AMC as well as with the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical School, and NYU. AMC is actively looking to increase its research capabilities over the coming years.

Equipment includes a GE Vivid 9 ultrasound system with 4 echo-pac stations for post-processing and report writing, a mobile GE echo machine with TEE probe, Holter recorders, Biotronik and Medtronic pacemaker interrogators, and other equipment. Cardiac catheterizations are performed in our state-of-the-art interventional radiology catheterization laboratory. Our 24 / 7 ICU is equipped with telemetry. A new, world-class facility is due to open in early 2025, along with a new Cardiology Suite for direct patient care.
