Neonatal Cardiologist

The CHOC Specialists Division of Neonatology is seeking a Neonatal Cardiologist to join our well-established group of 80 neonatologists providing coverage at our regional 100 bed level 4 NICU at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and 13 other level 3 and level 2 NICU’s with additional locations in Southern California. The CHOC NICU has facilities for ECMO and Cardiac Surgeries and runs busy specialized lines of neonatal services including a vibrant Small Baby Unit, a Surgical NICU, a CVNICU and a Neuro NICU.

We are seeking physicians who are double board eligible/certified in Neonatology and Pediatric Cardiology to join three other Neonatal Cardiologists & Neonatal Cardiac Intensivists in our busy Level IV NICU as we expand our cardiovascular services including a new, stand alone, CVICU which will open in mid-2025!

In 2023, CHOC began a unique collaboration with UCLA Health that will enhance access to world-class pediatric cardiac and cardiothoracic care for children and their families across Southern California. Our joint pediatric heart program, led by Dr. Glen Van Arsdell, will become a leading destination for diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of congenital and acquired heart disease. Together, we will help attract the nation’s top experts, while retaining the leading physicians and staff at both of our institutions.

CHOC earned the Gold Level CAPE Award from the California Council of Excellence, the only children’s hospital in California to ever earn this distinction, and was awarded Magnet designation, the highest honor bestowed to hospitals for nursing excellence. Recognized for extraordinary commitment to high-quality critical care standards, CHOC’s CVICU earned the Beacon Award for Excellence in 2022. CHOC is also an ELSO Platinum Center of Excellence.

There is a shared Neonatology fellowship program with the University of California, Irvine, a new Neonatal Hemodynamic and Cardiovascular fellowship program and a pediatric residency program at CHOC. The Division supports broad research programs in both clinical and quality improvement. CHOC prides itself as being one of few children’s hospitals with a distinguished innovation center and artificial intelligence MI3 program.

CHOC Specialists has 26 pediatric medical and surgical subspecialty divisions which provide the wide spectrum of pediatric subspecialty clinical services, from basic care to leading-edge treatment for diseases and medical conditions affecting children. Comprised of more than 350 recognized pediatric subspecialists, our physicians and advance practice providers provide expert, innovative and compassionate care for infants, children, adolescents and, in some specialties, adult patients.

Successful candidates will be eligible for unrestricted California medical licenses.
