General Cardiologists

Explore General Cardiology Jobs With VitalSolution

Cardiologists are needed nearly everywhere in the country, especially given that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. At VitalSolution, we make it possible for cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and related practitioners to follow their passions wherever they want to be. Our services help match experienced clinicians like you with underserved hospitals nationwide, ensuring as many people as possible have access to critical care assistance.

The Advantages of Being a Cardiologist Under the VitalSolution Model

VitalSolution’s practitioners are independent contractors interested in taking on an entrepreneurial role in their careers. Our hospital partners seek those looking to apply for 1099 cardiology jobs that provide both parties with more freedom in employment and even potential tax benefits.

Under the VitalSolution Model, you develop an exceptional work-life balance as a 1099 contractor. Most of our hired staff work one week on and one week off, meaning you’ll only be on call two or three weeks out of every month. The rest of the time, you will be free to step away from your job and pursue other responsibilities and hobbies with your full focus.

When you’re off, you’re completely off. The cardiologist who’s on takes all of the calls. You can turn off your phone, go on vacation and take time to recharge. You can be fully present at home, take the kids to school or see their games. You may still miss some events, but you’ll miss a lot less than if you were working a traditional job.
– Brad Serwer, MD, Chief Medical Officer

When you work as a 1099 contractor, you receive the full compensation you are owed from your employer, and are then responsible for making quarterly estimated tax payments from it. 

If you have a good idea of what you will owe based on your income, you can pay only that much, allowing you to spend or save the difference right away. Furthermore, because employers are not required to provide you with the same benefits as a W-2 employee, independent contractors are usually paid at a higher rate than their employee counterparts.

Understanding a 1099 Cardiologist Role

As a 1099 physician, your compensation may look a bit different from what you expect if you are coming from W-2 employment. While you will likely be able to achieve a higher starting salary that is not subject to tax withholding, you will be responsible for paying for your own:

• Health insurance
• Malpractice insurance
• Higher Medicare and Social Security taxes (known as the self-employment tax, as your employer will not cover half of it)
• 401(k) and other retirement contributions

Establishing Your Work-Life Balance With 1099 Cardiology Physician Jobs

The differences in compensation are a major draw of 1099 or independent contractor work, but it is only part of the advantage. Another reason physicians seek cardiologist jobs through VitalSolution is our unparalleled commitment to a work-life balance. Working as an independent contractor is gaining traction because it allows workers to prioritize their lives and the important things they do outside of their jobs.

VitalSolution’s hospital partners recognize this growing need for better work-life balance, and we only list their openings when they comply with such standards. Whether you imagine your future with ample time to travel the world or with the flexibility you need to be there for your family, our noninvasive cardiology jobs align with your preferences.

VitalSolution: Your Clinician-Led Partner

VitalSolution was developed by physicians, for physicians. We champion flexibility and balance in your roles because we learned firsthand how important they can be. Our partners’ openings send you to regions across the country where you are needed most and help you establish a life in the community when you’re on the job and off.

As one of our trusted clinicians, you can look forward to:

• Consistent block scheduling: Most of your shifts will operate in seven- or 14-day cycles, meaning you’ll be on call that many days, and then off for the same number. This schedule allows you to build relationships with your patients and maintain a solid chain of command, while still offering you plenty of time to live your own life. Get full-time pay working only 26 weeks every year.
• Regional physician resources: When you start your new position, you’ll have constant access to your Regional Chief Medical Officer, who is there to give you support and advice as you navigate your roles. They can also connect you with other local VitalSolution team members so you can share information and develop your skills together.
