Description

Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) — a leader in academic medicine, research, and innovation — is seeking a dedicated Cardiologist to join the growing team within the Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI), located at our satellite hospital partner, St. John Medical Center in Longview, Washington. 

Department Highlights

The Knight Cardiovascular Institute is recognized as a top integrated center for cardiovascular clinical care, translational research and professional training in all aspects of heart and vascular disease. Guided by a multi-disciplinary approach, researchers and clinicians drive a vibrant translational research program, which focuses on delivering the latest knowledge and cutting-edge care to patients. Specifically, research at KCVI seeks to improve patient outcomes by achieving earlier diagnosis of disease, more accurate monitoring of its progression, and tailoring therapy to the molecular basis of disease.

St. John Medical Center is a 193-bed acute care hospital and level 3 trauma center, with a group of primary care and specialty physicians, and clinics within the area.
