Structural Interventionalist – Perth, WA

Position:      Structural Interventionalist.
Location:     Perth, WA
About Cardio Vascular Services:

Clinical Integration Services (CIS) Group is a private medical specialist group providing cardiac and vascular diagnostic imaging and clinical services (Cardio Vascular Services – CVS) together with sleep and respiratory services (Cardio Respiratory Sleep – CRS). With 7 clinics in the Perth Region and our newly opened Bunbury clinic, along with 2 clinics in Melbourne, we are committed to the highest quality medical service and to ensuring an excellent patient experience within a culture of courage, integrity, empathy, excellence, innovation and collaboration.

Our strategy is to identify those who value high quality diagnostics and clinical care (both patients and referrers alike) and want more from a healthcare provider than is currently being offered elsewhere.

Position Summary:
CIS are looking to welcome several different subspecialty cardiologists to our established practice. You will join our team of cardiologists in our busy and growing WA and Melbourne practises. You will benefit from a well-established referral network, with an immediate referral base and full clinics. Working within an established practice presents a genuine opportunity for candidates to focus on building a fulfilling career in cardiology, without the added stress or strain of establishing a solo practice.

What is the arrangement?
CIS group specialists enjoy a collaborative relationship with the organisation. CIS provide a wide array of administrative and support services, including practice management, marketing, use of sessional rooms, administrative support, bookings, billing, and debtor management.

Your outpatient and inpatient income is your income; CIS group services are provided using an activity-based model, providing transparency and significant autonomy and flexibility for you to succeed in your own private practice.

CIS will assist in obtaining credentialing for Hollywood Private Hospital (WA’s largest private hospital with 860 beds), where as an Interventionalist/structural interventionalist you will be able to admit patients and perform cutting-edge interventional procedures including stenting, TAVR, LAAO, and MitraClip with the support of their world class cardiac catheterisation facilities and cardiothoracic surgical program.

Your private practice will benefit from a large state of the art, well established cardiac diagnostics program with a referral base dating back more than 25 years.

Requirements:

  • Registration as a Medical Practitioner with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority.
  • Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians including subspecialty training and recognition in Cardiology.
  • Eligible for a Medicare Provider Number for the provision of specialist services

PhD opportunities – Westmead Applied Research Centre, Sydney, NSW

Position : Exciting PhD or Masters Opportunity at The University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital for 2024

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is increasingly recognised as an important cause of myocardial infarction (MI). Global estimates suggest SCAD is the most common cause of MI in women under the age of 50. Yet very little is known about the best way to prevent, diagnose and treat SCAD. The Australian New Zealand SCAD (ANZ-SCAD) Registry is being led by Associate Professor Sarah Zaman out of the Westmead Applied Research Centre (WARC) at the University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital. This national effort will recruit patients with SCAD from more than 22 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand. Data pooling with national and international SCAD cohorts will enable important research questions to be answered.

Applications are open for a PhD candidate to join the team of SCAD researchers, under the supervision of A/Prof Sarah Zaman. They will be joining the academic team at WARC, led by Director Professor Clara Chow. The research team has extensive experience in leading grants, publications, and supporting students to win awards and scholarships. Ideal applicants will have a medical degree and clinical cardiology training. To apply (or for further details), please send your CV to [email protected]. An ideal candidate would have experience in coronary angiography interpretation. To determine your eligibility for a PhD or Masters at the Faculty of Medicine and Health please visit this link.

Position : PhD or Masters Opportunity in Myocardial Infarction in the Young

Myocardial infarction (MI) in young people (< age 50 years) is a devastating event that can have significant mortality, morbidity, psychological and financial effects for the individual and their families. Applications are open for a PhD or Masters candidate to join Associate Professor Sarah Zaman, and the team to research heart attacks in the young. A Young MI Registry has already begun (ethics and governance approval in place) at Westmead Hospital, Western Sydney, NSW, recruiting patients both historically and prospectively. Biomarkers, such as lipids, diabetic markers, lipoprotein(a) and high sensitivity CRP are collected. Dietary and exercise surveys are completed by prospectively consented participants. Research will focus on the different presentation features, outcomes and medical therapy as well as sex and ethnic differences and gaps in care, between young and older people with MI. Opportunity may arise to conduct prospectively clinical trials in consented participants and their families.

A PhD or master student would be joining the academic team at the Westmead Applied Research Centre, an Impact Centre of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, at the University of Sydney, under the directorship of Director Professor Clara Chow. The research team has extensive experience in leading grants, publications, and supporting students to win awards and scholarships. Ideal applicants will have clinical experience in cardiovascular disease. To apply (or for further details), please send your CV to [email protected].

Position : PhD or Masters Opportunity in Diet and Heart Failure

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is the leading cause of hospitalisation worldwide and affects ~64 million people globally. The failing heart has been found to use ketone bodies as a significant source of energy, resulting in improvements in heart function. This has led to a theoretical basis for a benefit of ketosis in heart failure, yet clinical research in this area (such as application of a ketogenic diet) is lacking. In fact, there are incredibly few dietary trials of any kind specific to patients with heart failure, despite diet being a cornerstone of heart disease prevention and treatment.

Applications are open for a PhD or Masters candidate to join the team to research dietary interventions in treatment of patients with heart failure, under the supervision of A/Prof Sarah Zaman. They will be joining the academic team at the Westmead Applied Research Centre, an Impact Centre of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, at the University of Sydney, led by Director Professor Clara Chow. Research projects will focus on diet and heart failure, including utilisation of available longitudinal data, systematic reviews and involvement in a grant-funded prospective clinical trial of a dietary intervention in patients with heart failure. The research team has extensive experience in leading grants, publications, and supporting students to win awards and scholarships. Ideal applicants will have clinical experience in heart failure and/or in application of diet to prevent chronic disease. To apply (or for further details), please send your CV to [email protected].
