Assistant Professor of Clinical - Anesthesiology, CVT

The Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Medicine, and Pain Management at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (UMMSOM) is experiencing a period of expansion and is seeking exceptional candidates to join the faculty.   The University of Miami is considered among the top-tier higher education institutions in the U.S. for its academic excellence, superior medical care, and cutting-edge research.  We are one of the largest private employers in Miami-Dade County, home to more than 16,000 faculty and staff from all over the world. 

The CT division provides perioperative cardiothoracic and vascular care to patients in two major institutions, including the University of Miami Hospital and Jackson Memorial Hospital Healthcare systems. The current combined programs include over 1000 cardiac surgical cases requiring cardiopulmonary bypass per year, which include minimally invasive valve repair/ replacement, CABG, adult congenital procedures, aortic reconstruction, and other major vascular cases – open and endovascular. The Miami Transplant Institute (MTI), which operates at the main Jackson Hospital, counts on a new rebooted transplantation program, performing last year over 100 heart and lung transplants, multi-organ transplants, ventricular assist devices, VV, and VA ECMO. Our division also provides care of more than 250 thoracic surgical cases, including open and thoracoscopic lung resections (including robotics), mediastinal surgery, esophageal and tracheal reconstruction, and interventional pulmonology procedures. Lastly, the percutaneous/ structural heart programs in both institutions are growing rapidly, and our division provides comprehensive care for these procedures, performing last year over 100 transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs), 40 mitral clips, and 50 Watchman procedures.
