Overview
Since our founding in 1924, we've cut cardiovascular disease deaths in half, but there is still so much more to do. To overcome today's biggest health challenges and accelerate this progress, we need passionate individuals like you. Join our movement, be part of the progress, and help ensure a healthier future for all. You matter, and so does the impact you can make with us.
The American Heart Association has an excellent opportunity for a Science and Medicine Advisor (SMA) in our National Center office located in Dallas, TX (Home-Based is acceptable).
The Science and Medicine Advisor (SMA) provides direction and guidance to the numerous US-based and international practicing physicians, scientists, and allied health professional volunteers who provide their clinical and research expertise to the Association.

In addition, the SMA serves as the in-house expert and resource to other Association staff members who are developing Association programs and projects (e.g., patient programs on atrial fibrillation or women's health, press releases to the national news media describing new breakthroughs, and review of Association website materials).
