Children’s Hospital in Texas is seeking a BC/BE Pediatric non-interventional Cardiologist to join a thriving practice with a built-in patient base. This is a well-established program in a multi-specialty group. The location is in the Rio Grande Valley in a community of approximately 250,000. The Cardiology Department is based at a nonprofit freestanding, tertiary care Children’s Hospital in South Texas.

The hospital provides comprehensive pediatric services including NICU, PICU and more than 40 pediatric subspecialists. The hospital maintains a teaching affiliation with a major university, and has its own pediatric residency program. Texas is a wonderful place to work, live and play.

The mild climate allows for year-round outdoor family activities such as golf, cycling, and tennis. The cost of living is low and there is no state income tax. Successful applicants will enjoy an excellent compensation package including sign on bonus, overhead expenses (including malpractice), medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance and generous retirement plans such as TSA 403b, Matching/Retirement Plan and Optional 457. San Antonio and the Gulf Coast beaches are both about 2 hours’ drive
