Cardiac Electrophysiologist Recruiters

What do we check before you see anyone?

We verify ABIM Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology certification and ask about board status directly. We also confirm the physician holds, or can obtain, the state medical license needed for your position. Your team completes its own credentialing review. We ask for recent AF ablation volume, not a career total alone.

• We ask which cases they performed independently, how often they handled repeat procedures, and whether their current work includes paroxysmal and persistent AF.
• We review VT ablation experience separately from AF work. Ask about the physician’s role in case selection, mapping strategy discussions, and coordination with heart failure or interventional cardiology colleagues when a patient needs broader planning.
• We discuss device implantation history by device type and recent frequency. Ask whether the physician implants new systems, manages lead revisions, performs generator changes, and shares device clinic follow-up with other physicians or advanced practice staff.
• We ask about LAAO experience as a distinct part of the scope. A physician may have extensive ablation work without regular LAAO cases. Discuss who selects candidates, who performs imaging review, and who manages follow-up after implantation.
• We screen work history and fit through concrete questions. We ask what information they need before the first case, how they handle a late referral change, and how they divide clinic, lab, and device responsibilities across a typical week.

Which mistakes stall the search?

A common mistake is comparing training names without asking what the physician personally performed during the last two years. Another is hiring for VT or LAAO growth when the candidate wants an AF-only practice and limited device responsibility. Others want clearer access to lab time, more device work, or a practice location that fits family plans.
