We’re looking for a Board-Certified or Board-Eligible cardiovascular/cardiothoracic surgeon to cover a short-term locum assignment in Ogden, Utah, at a Level II Trauma Center. This role requires comfort managing both cardiovascular and thoracic cases and providing 24-hour on-call coverage.

What you’ll be doing

• Provide 24-hour cardiovascular and thoracic surgery call coverage from December 28 - January 3.
• Evaluate and manage patients requiring cardiovascular and thoracic surgical care, both inpatient and emergency.
• Perform surgical procedures as needed (typically 1 cardiac case and 2-3 thoracic cases during the assignment).
• Respond to consults (about 3-5 per 7-day period) and recommend appropriate surgical management.
• Collaborate closely with APPs, nursing staff, and the broader care team.
• Complete timely documentation in Meditech.

What the service looks like

• Setting: Level II Trauma Center
• EMR: Meditech
• Patient volume: roughly 10-12 patients per week
• Surgeries: about 1-3 per week (annual cardiac surgery volume at the center is ~80 cases/year)

Requirements

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Cardiovascular/Cardiothoracic Surgery.
• Comfortable performing both cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
• Active Utah medical license and Utah DEA required (IMLC candidates will be considered).

If you’re experienced, flexible, and ready to step into a busy trauma center for a focused locum week, this is a great opportunity to practice both cardiac and thoracic surgery in a collaborative environment.
