As part of Rochester Regional Health and the nationally recognized Sands-Constellation Heart Institute, you will have the opportunity to combine meaningful clinical practice with leadership, innovation, academic collaboration, and program development — all while enjoying an exceptional quality of life in one of the Northeast’s most scenic and welcoming regions.
