Experience at interpreting vascular studies such as arterial duplex, venous duplex, ABIs, carotid and renal/mesenteric arteries is also preferred but not necessary. You will participate in the education and supervision of trainees. You may be involved in research activities within the section, and therefore a research background is desirable. You must qualify for a faculty appointment at the Assistant Professor (or higher) level at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Call is shared with the University Cardiology staff, providing for a larger call pool and less frequent call. An unrestricted U.S. medical license (any state) with no history of suspension or revocation is required as well as Board Certification/Eligibility. The Oklahoma City VA Health Care System (VAHCS) consists of a 192-operating bed facility serving 48 Oklahoma counties and two counties in north central Texas (Wilbarger and Wichita). The enrolled veteran population is over 81,000 and the Oklahoma City VAHCS is the parent facility for outpatient clinics in Ada, Altus, Ardmore, Blackwell, Enid, Lawton, Oklahoma City, Stillwater, and Wichita Falls. The Oklahoma City VAHCS is a tertiary care facility, classified as a VA complexity level rating of 1a. It is a teaching hospital, providing a full range of patient care services, with state-of-the-art technology as well as education and research. There are Medical residencies and General/Interventional/EP Cardiology fellowships here that are part of joint programs with the University of Oklahoma. Comprehensive health care is provided through primary care, tertiary care, and long-term care in areas of medicine, surgery, psychiatry, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, oncology, dentistry, geriatrics, and extended care and, it has specialized programs including Mental Health Intensive Case Management (MHICM), Reaching Out to Educate and Assist Health Care Families (REACH), Compensated Work Therapy, Center for Alzheimer and Neurodegenerative Diseases (CANDO), and Animal Assisted Therapy. Oklahoma City, with a population of more than 500,000 people, has reinvented itself with ongoing revitalization projects (such as the Bricktown entertainment district) that have transformed it into the state's most vibrant and exciting destination. Despite its push to modernize, its frontier heritage remains evident in attractions such as the must-see National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the Oklahoma History Center, and annual events such as Red Earth, the largest Native American festival in the world. The 46th state in the Union has much beauty to behold, with 200 man-made lakes, four stunning mountain ranges (Ouachitas, Arbuckles, Wichitas, and Ozarks), nearly a quarter of the state covered in forest, and an average temperature of 60°F. However, if pop culture is more your style than nature hikes, there are also more diner-laden drivable miles of Route 66 here than any other state (over 320 of 'em). Like Rodgers and Hammerstein's love song to the state says, Oklahoma's definitely OK! Whether you're interested in academics, research, or a better work/life balance, you'll find the VA has a lot to offer, including the unmatched satisfaction you'll get from caring for those who have served our country. In addition to competitive pay and liability protection, the VA also offers a robust benefits plan that includes:
