Job Description

The MedAxiom Consulting Care Transformation team is innovative, agile, and entrepreneurial. Our mission, which we share with our parent organization, the American College of Cardiology, is to transform cardiovascular care and enhance heart health for all. We are at the forefront of helping our community of organizations implement change and deliver value.

Professional growth and development are expected within MedAxiom. Our consultants become experts in broad cardiovascular content areas and niche fields, aligning with their interests. Our national presence and the resources available through our parent organization, the ACC, serve as distinct market advantages. MedAxiom consultants influence and impact the national stage – from small organizations finding their way to engagements with some of the most advanced CV organizations worldwide seeking to learn or refine specific offerings. Much is expected of our consultants, who must be self-motivated and service-oriented, and benefit greatly from working within a rich, team-based environment that promotes collaboration and support.
