The selected candidate for this role will primarily operate at Kentucky Children's Hospital (KCH) in Lexington, Kentucky and thus will need to live within the Greater Lexington Area. The University of Kentucky will also grant a faculty appointment opportunity. The surgeon will support the development and growth of the Joint Pediatric and Congenital Heart Program (JPCHP) with CCHMC while directly working day to day with the Chief Cardiothoracic Surgeon at KCH.

The JPCHP seeks to strengthen an already existing and successful heart program at KCH through shared conferences, resources, and quality improvement (QI) initiatives. By pooling expertise and resources, the partners aim to elevate the standard of care to a broader range of patients, potentially reaching those who may not have had access to certain specialized Congenital Heart services. The JPCHP reflects a strategic effort to enhance care delivery, optimize infrastructure, and most importantly, benefit patients within the communities served.
