Featuring Dr. Amit Amin of Cardiovascular Institute of the SouthHosted by Michelle Wimberly, Director of Physician Recruitment and Retention at Cardiovascular LogisticsIn this episode of In Circulation, Michelle Wimberly and Dr. Amit Amin discuss what drives physician satisfaction and retention in a cardiology practice, and why culture and structure matter as much as clinical excellence.They cover how strong teams, effective practice management, and the right resources let physicians focus on patient care while reducing the risk of burnout. The conversation draws on Dr. Amin's experience building a practice culture that supports long-term physician retention.In this episode, they cover:• Practice culture and its role in physician satisfaction• Work-life balance in a demanding specialty• Clinical support systems that reduce physician burden• Open communication between physicians and practice leadership• How strong teams and management reduce burnout riskA must-listen for cardiologists, practice leaders, and anyone building a physician-first practice culture.

Featuring Dr. Bart Denys of Cardiovascular Institute of the South | Hosted by Pam Pratt, VP of Practice Management at Cardiovascular LogisticsIn this episode of In Circulation, Pam Pratt and Dr. Bart Denys explore the business and practice of cardiology -- what has changed over the last decade, and what needs to change next.They discuss how physician practices have resisted harmonization, why the shift from intervention to prevention is overdue, and what it takes to build a thriving cardiology practice in today's market. The conversation draws on decades of shared experience building and growing a practice together.In this episode, they cover:How patients, staff, and providers have changed over the last decadeWhy physician harmonization remains the biggest challenge in cardiologyBuilding a care team that goes beyond clinical rolesHow to engage the community and grow referral relationshipsThe shift from volume and intervention to wellness and preventionWhat younger physicians need to know about running a practiceA must-listen for cardiologists, practice leaders, and anyone navigating the evolving business of cardiovascular care.

Featuring Dr. Connor Healey of Capital Cardiology Associates | Hosted by Michelle Wimberly, Director of Physician Recruitment and Retention at CVL In this episode of In Circulation, Michelle Wimberly and Dr. Connor Healey break down the recruitment trends shaping the future of cardiology and what today’s physicians need to know as the job market grows more competitive. They discuss what’s driving increased demand for cardiologists, how physician priorities are shifting, and why timing, transparency, autonomy, and long-term career growth matter more than ever. The conversation offers practical guidance for fellows and practicing cardiologists evaluating opportunities in private practice, hospital-based models, and physician-led platforms. In this episode, they cover: What’s fueling today’s cardiology recruitment shortage How fellows should think about timing and career planning What candidates are prioritizing beyond compensation Key differences between hospital-based and private practice models Why ASC/OBL access, imaging, and operational support matter What to expect from cardiology recruitment in 2026 and beyond A must-listen for fellows, practicing cardiologists, and leaders planning for the next phase of cardiovascular care. 

Featuring Dr. Lance Sullenberger of Capital Cardiology Associates & Dr. Veronica Covalesky of Cardiovascular Consultants of Philadelphia | Hosted by Jude Hebert, VP of Clinical Programs at CVLIn this episode of In Circulation, we explore how advanced imaging and artificial intelligence are redefining the way cardiovascular disease is diagnosed, managed, and prevented. Coronary CTA with plaque analysis and fractional flow reserve (FFR) is providing physicians with an unprecedented look into plaque burden, composition, and risk—while AI is rapidly enhancing interpretation accuracy and accelerating treatment decisions.Dr. Veronica Covalesky and Dr. Lance Sullenberger share real-world insights from their practices on how CTA and AI are improving clinical precision, patient engagement, and value-based outcomes. They discuss the evolution of CT angiography, how AI is changing the game for cardiologists, and what’s next as these tools become integral to everyday cardiovascular care.Dr. Covalesky, Dr. Sullenberger, and Jude explore:How coronary CTA with plaque analysis and FFR enhances diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-makingThe role of AI in identifying high-risk plaque and improving long-term patient outcomesThe challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into cardiovascular imaging workflowsHow CTA and AI support value-based care by preventing unnecessary procedures and enabling targeted treatmentPredictions for how AI will continue to transform cardiovascular practice over the next decadeWhether you’re a clinician already using advanced imaging or exploring how AI can elevate patient care, this episode offers forward-looking insights into the future of cardiovascular diagnostics and practice innovation.
