We have a growing group of cardiologists covering all other subspecialties (EP, interventional, advanced imaging and fetal. We have a collaborative program with Children's Hospital Orange County (CHOC) with joint conferences and we often collaborate on complex transcatheter interventions from patients from Kaiser and CHOC.

The position also includes a faculty appointment at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. In addition to interventional cardiology, applicants will also participate in general cardiology outpatient clinics, inpatient cardiology service, consults and occasional general cardiology call.
