St. Luke's Idaho Cardiology Associates (SLICA) is a 14-physician cardiology practice servicing Boise and the surrounding communities within Idaho.  Our cardiologists, along with our nurses and other clinical staff, work to provide quality, comprehensive cardiac care to all patients at an affordable price.

SLICA continues to grow as the premier cardiology group in Idaho.  SLICA is seeking an invasive, non-interventional cardiologist to join their group.

Our in-office diagnostic services include: treadmill stress testing, echocardiography, heart rhythm monitoring, and nuclear cardiology. Also included within our practice are special clinics designed to manage arrhythmias, pacemakers and defibrillators, anticoagulation, congestive heart failure, and lipids.

There is elective opportunity to participate in medical education with the local residencies as well as Idaho medical students of the University of Washington School of Medicine.  In addition, SLICA physicians are supported by St. Luke's to participate in research activities.
