The successful candidate will engage in the full spectrum of adult cardiac surgery but their clinical practice will have a specific focus on aortic surgery and catheter-based treatment of structural heart and aortic disease.  Clinical duties, which are primary, include provision of care to cardiothoracic surgery patients at the University Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital (VA). The successful applicant will also have an active role in the training and teaching of medical students and surgery residents.
