Featuring Dr. Connor Healey of Capital Cardiology Associates | Hosted by Michelle Wimberly, Director of Physician Recruitment and Retention at CVL 

In this episode of In Circulation, Michelle Wimberly and Dr. Connor Healey break down the recruitment trends shaping the future of cardiology and what today’s physicians need to know as the job market grows more competitive. 

They discuss what’s driving increased demand for cardiologists, how physician priorities are shifting, and why timing, transparency, autonomy, and long-term career growth matter more than ever.

In this episode, they cover: 

• What’s fueling today’s cardiology recruitment shortage 

• How fellows should think about timing and career planning 

• What candidates are prioritizing beyond compensation 

• Key differences between hospital-based and private practice models 

• Why ASC/OBL access, imaging, and operational support matter
