Retired senior cardiologist Consultant

Healthcare – Tertiary acute-care hospital sector. A 250‑bed multi-specialty hospital in Assam is establishing a fully equipped cardiac catheterisation laboratory to expand interventional cardiology services and improve regional access to advanced cardiac care.

We are seeking a Senior Interventional Cardiologist (Consultant) to provide hands‑on consultancy, proctoring, and structured training to a junior cardiologist and cath‑lab team. The engagement is advisory with minimal procedural workload; leadership and teaching are central.

• Advise on cath‑lab infrastructure, equipment selection, room layout, and procurement prioritisation to meet clinical and regulatory standards.
• Provide on‑site proctoring and supervised procedural mentoring to a junior cardiologist—support initial cases and progressive autonomy.
• Design and deliver a training curriculum: simulation sessions, case review, complication management, and competency assessments.
• Develop clinical protocols and SOPs for patient selection, anticoagulation, radiation safety, infection control, and emergency response.
• Establish quality‑assurance processes: case audits, KPI tracking, morbidity‑mortality review, and vendor/device evaluation.
• Liaise with hospital leadership on staffing, scheduling, and vendor onboarding; support initial visits (2–3 days) with travel and accommodation arranged and paid by the hospital.

Must‑Have

• Coronary angiography
• Percutaneous coronary intervention
• Transradial access
• Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
• Hemodynamic monitoring

Preferred

• Cath lab workflow
• Advanced Cardiac LifeSupport
• Experience in setting up or commissioning a cath lab

Ideal candidate profile: A retired senior cardiologist with advanced interventional experience (DM/DrNB or equivalent), proven record of proctoring/mentoring, and the ability to translate best practices into sustainable local protocols. This role is advisory—the hospital emphasises on‑site guidance and capacity building rather than high clinical volume from the consultant.

• Flexible advisory engagement with no heavy ongoing procedural workload—focus on training and oversight.
• Professional, prompt management with reliable payments and administrative support.
• Travel and accommodation covered for initial on‑site visits (2–3 days); supportive environment to build a high‑quality cath lab programme.

Location: On‑site at a 250‑bed hospital in Assam, India. To apply or request a confidential discussion, please respond with a brief CV highlighting interventional experience and previous proctoring or cath‑lab setup roles.
