Assistant Professor Intervention Cardiologist PIMS Islamabad Full Time
Assistant Professor Intervention Cardiologist jobs at PIMS Islamabad 2026 are open for qualified and experienced medical specialists who want to combine advanced clinical cardiology practice with academic teaching at one of Pakistan’s most prominent federal hospitals. Two vacancies are available on contract basis and the last date to apply through the EPR portal is 18 Aug 2026.
Why This Job Matters
An Assistant Professor at PIMS is not just a doctor treating patients they are shaping the next generation of Pakistani cardiologists. PIMS is affiliated with Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University and its cardiology department trains FCPS residents whose clinical competence will affect cardiac patient care outcomes across Pakistan for the next thirty years. When you teach a resident to perform an angioplasty correctly, recognize a complex arrhythmia pattern early, or communicate a life-threatening diagnosis to a patient’s family with compassion, that teaching compounds across every patient that resident will ever treat. That multiplicative impact on Pakistan’s overall cardiac care standard is what makes this academic clinical role genuinely significant beyond its immediate patient care contribution.

Preparation Tips
- Prepare a two-page academic CV specifically formatted for a teaching hospital assistant professor role separate from your general clinical CV. This should highlight your postgraduate qualification, specific interventional procedures you have independently performed, teaching roles you have held at any institution, and any publications or research presentations you have contributed to.
- Know your PMDC faculty criteria before the interview. PIMS interviewers will ask directly how your qualifications map to PMDC’s criteria for Level III or Level IV faculty appointment. Reviewing PMDC’s latest faculty appointment criteria document before the interview is time well spent.
- If you have not published yet, identify two or three cardiology cases or audit findings from your practice that could be developed into a publication and be ready to mention them during the interview. Demonstrating active research thinking is significantly better than presenting nothing in the publications column.
