Pediatric cardiologists provide ambulatory, inpatient, consultative, fetal, and imaging services at BMSCH and affiliated clinical locations. Faculty participate in shared pediatric cardiology service and call coverage, including weekends and holidays.
The New Brunswick academic campus brings together Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, the Child Health Institute of New Jersey, and nearby Children’s Specialized Hospital, creating a collaborative environment for the care of medically and surgically complex children.
