Better Health for All

Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH), a large public teaching healthcare system, affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine, is seeking a full-time BC Enterprise Medical Director of Cardiac Care Services, to join our dynamic practice in our Department of Medicine.

We offer the unparalleled opportunity to gain the long-term personal and professional satisfaction of serving our patients and our diverse community, while participating in the education of the next generation of health care providers, in one of the best places to live in the United States.

Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH) is the second-largest County-owned health and hospital system in California and is committed to improving the health of the 1.9 million people of Santa Clara County. SCVH comprises four hospitals:
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC - a 731-bed central hospital), O’Connor Hospital (OCH - 358 licensed beds), Saint Louise Regional Hospital (SLRH – 93 licensed beds) and Regional Medical Center (RMC - 258 licensed beds). In addition, SCVH includes a network of primary care clinics comprised of eleven health centers throughout the County, several urgent care clinics, dental services, primary care behavioral health services, and a broad range of specialty services in our Valley Specialty Center.

SCVMC hosts four residency programs and one fellowship training program, and partners with Stanford University SOM and Stanford Healthcare for the clinical training of medical students, residents, and fellows. SCVMC is an ACS-verified Level 1 Trauma Center, a Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center, an ABA-verified Burn Center, a Primary Stroke Center, a Level 4 NICU, and a nationally recognized CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center.

Owing to its geographic location and specialty offerings, SCVMC not only serves the County, but also the larger region.

Providers in our health system also have the opportunity to use our integrated electronic health record (Epic), which brings together systemwide patient information. The Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recognized SCVMC for achieving its highest level of success (Stage
7), based on our continuous innovation and optimization of our inpatient and outpatient EHR.

SCVH is located in San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, offering a diverse choice of cultural, recreational, and lifestyle opportunities. Our physicians live in a range of communities, including urban (e.g., San Francisco), university (e.g., Palo Alto), high tech (e.g., many cities of Silicon Valley), mountain (e.g., Los Gatos), beach (e.g. Santa Cruz), and rural/agricultural (e.g., Morgan Hill and Gilroy).

Situated in one of the most desirable regions of the country – only 45 minutes from the Monterey Bay and three hours from the Sierra Nevada – our physicians have the opportunity to enjoy a very high quality of life.

Our Division of Cardiology provides consultative inpatient services and outpatient care for patients with heart failure, arrhythmias, and coronary artery disease, among others. We are a key training site for SCVMC residents. Physicians who join the Division of Cardiology are pleased to find a very collegial work environment, with robust specialty and ancillary support.

At SCVH, we have recently established a Cardiac Care Service Line that integrates all cardiac services across our hospitals and clinics to provide comprehensive care including advanced cardiothoracic surgery that includes use of ECMO, structural heart procedures, multiple STEMI receiving centers, electrophysiologic studies and interventions, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and an outpatient heart failure program.

This position is for a board-certified Interventional or General Cardiologist. In addition to clinical duties, this position would have significant leadership responsibilities in overseeing delivery of cardiology care across all 4 enterprise hospitals,…
