The
Division of Cardiology is located in the Wayne
State University/Detroit Medical Center at Harper
University Hospital. The heart failure program
operates in very busy urban and suburban clinical
practice settings that provide a challenging
patient population with heart failure and related
cardiovascular-renal co-morbidities.
The ideal candidate will provide
programmatic development, implementation, and
leadership across the in- and out-patient arenas
of heart failure clinical care and research. This
person will have an opportunity to work in close
collaboration with the soon to be operational WSU
Cardiovascular Research Institute.
WSU’s School of Medicine is affiliated with the
hospitals of the Detroit Medical Center, which
include Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the
Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan, Hutzel
Women’s Hospital, Detroit Receiving Hospital,
Harper University Hospital, Sinai Grace Hospital,
Huron Valley Sinai Hospital and the Michigan
Orthopedic Hospital. It maintains a research and
education partnership with Henry Ford Health
Center, in Detroit, and coordinates teaching
experiences with 14 community hospitals through
the Southeast Michigan Center for Medical
Education.
The Wayne State University School of Medicine is
the nation’s largest single-campus medical
school in the country, with over 700 faculty,
1,000 medical students and more than 400 graduate
students. As the only medical school in Detroit,
WSU has a stated mission to improve the overall
health of the community. As part of this mission,
the School has established, with the help of a $6
million NIH grant, the Center for Urban &
African-American Health to seek new ways to
redress health disparities by identifying
preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches
to chronic diseases that plague this population,
namely obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The
candidate must be eligible for licensure to
practice medicine in the State of Michigan and
certified by the American Board of Cardiology. The
successful candidate should have a strong desire
to service an underserved urban area, and an
interest in clinical,
academic and research endeavors.
