The University of Utah seeks an exceptional general (non‑invasive) cardiology leader to serve as the Section Chief for the General Cardiology Section within the Cardiovascular Medicine Division in the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine's Department of Internal Medicine (DOIM). This is a remarkable opportunity for a dynamic academic leader to further the growth and innovation of this vibrant program’s clinical, research, educational, and other programmatic missions.

It supports PhD and MD/PhD students and offers Physician‑Scientist Training and advanced research training programs.

The Section Chief will work closely with the Cardiovascular Medicine Chief and departmental leaders to promote a collaborative environment that enhances clinical growth and academic development, and advances research aligned with the Division, Department, and Institutional missions.
