Children's Minnesota is proud to be recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of 2023's Top Diversity Leaders. The national honor recognizes the top diverse healthcare executives and organizations influencing public policy, care delivery, and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in their organizations and the industry.

Children's Minnesota is seeking a dynamic, fellowship-trained pediatric heart transplant cardiologist to join the Heart Failure Heart Transplant (HFHT) program. This physician would have the benefit of collaborating with a comprehensive multidisciplinary transplant team that includes: 3 surgeons, 1 cardiologist, 2 nurse practitioners, transplant coordinators, dieticians, pharmacists, therapists and social workers. The HFHT program also offers a growing Ventricular Assist Device program as well as a well-established ECMO program.

Our Transplant program partners closely with The Children's Heart Clinic (CHC). Annually, the CHC cardiologists see more than 16,000 patients and surgeons perform over 400 surgical interventions. The CHC's state-of-the-art facilities include a dedicated pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit, one of 30 approved pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratories in North America for transcatheter pulmonary valve placement, a complete pediatric arrhythmia service including the latest technology for ablation and devices, a collaborative fetal program for diagnosing and managing congenital heart disease in-utero, a collaborative adult congenital cardiology program, an ICAEL-accredited echocardiography lab and a rapidly growing congenital cardiac MRI/CT program. Children's Minnesota is pleased to announce it is the first pediatric hospital in Minnesota, and second in the United States, to install Siemens Naeotom Alpha (Alpha) with Quantum Technology - the world's first photon-counting computed tomography (CT) scanner for clinical use.
