Vanderbilt Health is seeking an outstanding Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist to join a growing Comprehensive Congenital Heart Center committed to delivering the highest level of multidisciplinary care. This role supports a strategic vision to provide advanced, full-spectrum congenital cardiac services, including complex neonatal and pediatric surgical and interventional care.

Demonstrated experience across the full spectrum of cardiac surgical and thoracic cases, as well as exposure to ECMO, VAD support, and transplantation, is expected.

This position requires a collaborative clinician committed to excellence in multidisciplinary care, education, and program development. Responsibilities include participation in fellow and resident education, team-based care, and contributions to advancing the mission of a comprehensive heart center.
