The Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) is part of the Center for Critical Care at Houston Methodist Hospital, located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas, the largest medical complex in the world.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in the management of critically ill cardiovascular patients, including post-cardiac surgery care, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical circulatory support, intra-aortic balloon pump management, Impella management, VA and VV ECMO management, temporary ventricular assist devices, and pulmonary artery catheter interpretation. Additional expertise in general critical care medicine, including airway management, bedside procedures, and multisystem organ failure management, is also required.

Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to multidisciplinary, team-based care and have a strong interest in the education of medical students, residents, fellows, and advanced practice providers who rotate through the unit. The intensivist will work collaboratively with cardiovascular surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, pharmacists, nursing staff, respiratory therapists, APPs, fellows, residents, and medical students to deliver exceptional patient care.
