Job description

You are a pediatric cardiologist with expertise in catheter interventions. You will be part of the largest catheter intervention program for congenital heart patients in the Netherlands, with approximately 400-450 pediatric and congenital heart catheterizations per year, and you will also perform hybrid treatments. Additionally, you will be involved in the EP/ablation program for children.

Our innovative pediatric heart catheterization program offers treatments that are unique in the Netherlands. For example, we have a structured hybrid program in collaboration with our four congenital cardiothoracic surgeons. The standard repertoire of the team includes procedures such as ductus stents, PDA closure in premature infants, RVOT stents, and percutaneous valve implantations. The pediatric interventional cardiologists work closely with the department for adults with congenital heart defects; complex catheter interventions for adults are performed jointly.

As a pediatric interventional cardiologist, you will be part of the team at the Academic Centre for Congenital Heart Defects (ACAHA) consisting of 12 highly motivated pediatric cardiologists at Sophia Children's Hospital and 6 at Amalia Children's Hospital with different areas of interest, including three interventional pediatric cardiologists at the Rotterdam location.

Work environment

The department of pediatric cardiology is part of pediatrics within the Sophia Children's Hospital. The Sophia Children's Hospital is the largest and most comprehensive children's hospital in the Netherlands. We are a tertiary referral center for pediatric ECMO and the only center in the Netherlands performing heart transplants and VAD therapy for children.

Together with Radboud University Medical Center Nijmegen, we form an alliance - one team on two locations. You will thus work closely with the six pediatric cardiologists from the Radboud UMC. The interventional and surgical treatment of all our patients is carried out at the Sophia Children's Hospital. This is the largest congenital program in the Netherlands, with:

• > 290 heart catheterizations for children
• > 120 catheter interventions for adults with congenital heart defects
• Around 60 pediatric EP/ablations
• Around 380 congenital surgical procedures per year, of which 300 are in children

For the multidisciplinary care of our patients, you will also work closely with various other specialties at Erasmus MC, among which:

• Our four congenital thoracic surgeons
• Our pediatric cardiothoracic anesthesiologists
• Our medium care department of the pediatric chest center (20 beds)
• Our pediatric ICU (6 beds dedicated to pediatric cardiac patients) and neonatal ICU (32 beds, the largest in the Netherlands)
• Our adult congenital cardiologists
• Our ENT, paediatric pulmonology, and general surgical departments

Qualifications and skills

• You are a pediatric cardiologist with expertise in catheter interventions. Your expertise and ambitions are welcome.
• You are committed to providing the best patient care and contributing to the development of the field and continuous improvement of care.
• Preferably you speak Dutch or are willing to take an intensive language course to reach level B2+. This level is required in the Netherlands to work independently as a doctor. Erasmus MC facilitates participation in an intensive language course.
