The Cohen Children's Heart Center is recruiting for a BE/BC Fellowship Trained General Pediatric Cardiologist to help build a new outpatient practice site in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. This will be part of a new multi-specialty Pediatric and Adult site, and the practitioner will provide comprehensive pediatric cardiology outpatient care including fetal services to the Queens community. The ideal candidate would have 3+ years of experience and be passionate about providing outpatient care in a community setting with a rich diversity of patients. Strong communication skills and dedication to interacting with referring physicians and local nurseries is critical.

Appropriate time for program building will be provided within the schedule.
