The Brown University Health (BUH) Cardiovascular Institute, part of the faculty practice program for the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, continues to seek exceptional candidates to support its rapidly expanding Electrophysiology program.

With the addition of two hospital systems in Bristol County, Massachusetts, the Brown Health footprint now spans six hospitals, 1,400 beds, and a referral base of 50+ cardiologists. EP procedure volumes have tripled, and we continue to seek EP attendings with the appropriate qualifications and dynamic team-oriented skills to support continued expansion and program development.
