Our cardiovascular surgery and transplant NP/PA hospitalist work collaboratively with our medical consultants, surgeons, residents/fellows, nurses, and other staff to provide 24/7 coverage of our recently transplanted heart and lung patients, transplant patients readmitted on the progressive care unit in the hospital, consulting coverage in the ICU, and cross‑cover patients who have recently had cardiac surgery. This role requires timely assessments, interventions, interpretation of diagnostic tests, and management of post‑surgical care and acute and chronic medical conditions.

Patient and family education about recovery and disease process is also a crucial part of the health promotion for our patients.

We are ranked among the Best Hospitals for heart care and heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report! The patient population the NP/PA’s manage includes the adult heart and lung transplant patients, CV surgical patients, and VAD patients in the Progressive Care Units.

This diverse patient population provides you the opportunity to hone your skills in a specialty for continuous learning as you care for these patients.
