Akron Children's Heart Center is seeking a talented pediatric electrophysiologist to become a vital part of our multidisciplinary team. The ideal candidate will be board-certified in pediatric cardiology and possess a minimum of one additional year of fellowship training specifically in pediatric electrophysiology.
The successful applicant will be an enthusiastic and highly skilled pediatric electrophysiologist, skilled in device implantation and catheter ablation, ready to bring fresh expertise to our programs.
We currently perform between 70-80 electrophysiology studies (EPS) and ablation procedures, along with 20-30 device implants in the catheterization lab annually. Anticipated growth in workload is expected with the launch of an accredited adult congenital heart program in the coming years.

Akron Children's Heart Center performs over 320 combined OR and Cath cases annually, and the program has been in existence for 25 years.
