Cardiologist-only recruiting
Interventional vs EP Career
Recruiter follow-up when opportunities match your selected states
Direct answer: Interventional vs EP Career—educational context for cardiologists exploring locum tenens. Locum Career Hub recruits MD/DO cardiologists and connects you with hospitals and groups when mutual fit exists.
This pillar guide is a long-form reference for cardiologists. It is educational—not medical, legal, or tax advice. For recruiter-led matching after you read it, submit an inquiry with your subspecialty and preferred states.
Not a prestige contest
Choose the work your nervous system can sustain for decades.
Prestige fades; nights do not.
IC realities
STEMI intensity, radiation, lab days, complication stress.
Thrilling for some; corrosive for others.
EP realities
Lab dependence, ablation/device mix, arrhythmia call myths vs facts.
Ask working EPs about their actual weeks.
Decision aids
Do elective rotations with honesty. Talk to unhappy people too—not only stars.
You can still redesign later, but switching costs rise.
