Physician - Pediatric Congenital Cardiologist - Advanced Imaging - Helen Devos Children's Hospital

At Helen DeVos Children's Hospital cardiac imaging is the cornerstone of pediatric cardiology and most patients referred to our care will have at least one study. The modalities are ultrasound (echocardiography), CT and MRI. Basic imaging that can be performed by any cardiologist is transthoracic echocardiography. Anything else involves specialization; in echocardiography this includes transesophageal, intracardiac, fetal, and 3D imaging. CT and MRI are another separate area of specialization in cardiac imaging. Imaging that is based in echocardiography is within the division of pediatric and congenital cardiology.
This large volume of work includes:

• Training ultrasound technologists
• Providing seamless 24/7 coverage to our inpatient and ED populations
• Accommodating for rapid access (often same day) testing in our outpatient clinics.
• Availability 24/7 to provide transesophageal echo for open heart surgery and cardiac catheterization procedures, and during other emergencies
• Expertise in fetal echocardiography, working with MFM, training OB sonographers and building that network in the communities we serve
• Familiarity with 3D echo that is used to print a complex heart for procedural planning
• Expertise in advanced cardiac imaging

This person will be able to hit the ground running in reading studies and be able to continue working with the 3D echo and visualization space.
Program Highlights:

• Largest congenital cardiology group in West Michigan, providing state-of-the-art inpatient and outpatient congenital cardiac care
• Lifelong care, with a robust fetal cardiology program and MFM, and a fully accredited Adult Congenital Heart Disease program
• The pediatric and adult congenital services share an administrative center and are co-located in adjacent spaces.
• An exceptional transition program provides continuity of care as patients age out of the pediatric space and into the adult.
• On-site facilities include cardiac catheterization, 3-D and 4D echo, advanced visualization, CMR and CT.
• Clinical inpatient and outpatient services are well supported by advanced practice providers, skilled sonographers, cardiovascular techs, nurses, and dedicated pediatric dietician, psychologist and social worker.
• Excellent surgical outcomes (awarded Three Star Status by the STS)
• Cardiology fellowship program
• Teaching opportunities (medical students, pediatric residents and cardiology fellows)
• As the Clinical academic partner of Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, academic appointments, teaching, and support for clinical research are available
