Job Description

Are you ready to bring your clinical skills to a world-class facility recognized as top ten in the United States for Cardiovascular and Cardiac services?

Our physicians work closely with other programs, including the Heart Failure Program , Mechanical Circulatory Support Program , Interventional Cardiology and the Regenerative Medicine Clinic .

More than a thousand patients have undergone transplants at Cedars-Sinai since the program was established in 1988, according to UNOS. Because we treat more of these patients than any other center in the United States, we can tailor our approach to each individual's needs.
