Job Description

Physicians at any career stage are encouraged to consider the opportunity.
Why Physicians Should Take a Closer Look
- No call responsibilities: Call coverage is provided by the pediatric cardiology team in Omaha, allowing you to focus on your Lincoln practice without adding call obligations.

- Primarily ambulatory practice: Build longitudinal relationships with patients and families, with opportunities for local NICU and inpatient consultation.
- Fetal echo at the center of your practice: Transthoracic and fetal echocardiography, ECGs and Holters are performed onsite in Lincoln.
- Academic resources without giving up a community-based practice: Remain based in Lincoln while staying connected to the subspecialty expertise and resources of the larger Children’s Nebraska pediatric cardiology program.
- Keep growing in the areas that interest you: Opportunities to rotate at the Children’s Nebraska main campus in Omaha can provide additional involvement in inpatient cardiology, echocardiography and the exercise stress lab.
