Job Description:
Practice Opportunity: Cardiology for UPMC Somerset Somerset
Cardiology has been providing exemplary cardiac care and services
for patients of Somerset County and beyond for more than 30 years.
The department currently employees three full time cardiologists,
two of which are non-invasive cardiology and one physician who is
interventional cardiology. There are two physician assistants
currently at the practice, one full-time and one part-time, with a
third full-time position in process of being added due to volume
increase. An EP also sees patients at the clinic one day per week
and performs procedures at UPMC Somerset. The practice runs a
pacemaker clinic once weekly. The practice is located directly
across the street from UPMC Somerset allowing for very easy access
for going between the inpatient and outpatient settings.
Non-invasive cardiologists rotate weekly between inpatient and
outpatient services and are supplemented by the physician
assistants. Hospital services consist of rounding/consults, TEE
procedures, stress tests, echoes, and EKGs. Medical call is divided
among the non-invasive cardiologists with some supplementation by
locums for weekend coverage. Physician assistants provide some
weekend rounding as well. The interventional cardiologist is
well-known throughout the region for his exemplary care and has
been with the practice since 2016. The medical cardiologists have
both been with the practice since 2019. Both physician assistants
have been with the practice for several years working under the
guidance of the Cardiology physician team. The outpatient practice
is currently using Epic as their EMR system. The hospital is
currently using Paragon Allscripts, with a planned transition to
Epic in the future. Many other specialty service lines are
available through UPMC both onsite and regionally. Some of the
services available locally at UPMC Somerset are Pulmonary Medicine,
Pain Management, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery,
Gastroenterology, Neurology, ENT, Urology, Gynecology, UroGyn
services. UPMC Somerset also offers services via tele-medicine for
Rheumatology, Endocrinology, and Neurosurgery. Other services
currently include medical oncology, an on-site sleep lab, two
cardiac catheterization laboratories, physical therapy,
occupational health, and home health services, among many more. DOX
