Carilion Clinic, the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM), and the Department of Medicine are seeking a Chief of Cardiology to lead the region's largest team of Cardiologists and advanced practitioners.

Our flagship facility, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, is a 763-bed medical center and the only Level 1 Trauma Center in southwestern Virginia, serving 1 to 1.5 million residents. We have more than 30 ACGME-accredited residencies and fellowships with 350 trainees. The Cardiology fellowship has 18 trainees, with additional Intervention and structural fellowships and a planned electrophysiology fellowship. The supporting internal medicine residency has 72 trainees. As a physician-led, multi-specialty, not-for-profit healthcare system based in Roanoke, Carilion Clinic operates 7 hospitals, 264 outpatient clinics, and employs 850 physicians representing more than 85 specialties. Carilion is ranked among Virginia's top 3 hospitals by U.S. News and is recognized for excellence in Heart Attack, TAVR, CABG, and AAA Repair, among other conditions.

In July 2025, we open the Crystal Spring Tower, home to the new Carilion Cardiovascular Institute (CVI). This state-of-the-art building features 3 EP and 6 Cath Labs, 7 Cardiovascular Operating Rooms, 76 inpatient ICU/PCU beds, 46 pre/post-care beds, MRI, CT, and additional testing, along with an expanded advanced heart failure clinic. We are committed to pioneering a new era in cardiovascular health by building knowledge through research and education.

The Chief will oversee Cardiology faculty recruitment, mentoring, and development across the system, as well as support the clinical and research training of fellows, residents, and medical students from VTCSOM. Our cardiologists staff 5 Carilion hospitals and have numerous outpatient sites throughout southwestern Virginia. The Chief is supported administratively by a seasoned Cardiology Senior Director and the VP of the Cardiovascular Institute.

Candidates must be board-certified in Cardiology, have at least 5 years of experience as an academic faculty, management or leadership experience that would qualify for the rank of Associate or full Professor, a record of scholarship, and strong communication and interpersonal skills.
