The Schneeweiss Adult Congenital Heart Center at Columbia University Irving Medical Center seeks to add another Nurse Practitioner to our program. This is an exciting opportunity to improve the lives of individuals with congenital heart disease together with a dedicated, family-oriented team of providers, while working at one of the premier Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Centers in the United States.

Our program:

Our Program is one of the largest and oldest of its kind, and it continues to grow to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of adults surviving with congenital heart disease. We are ACGME-accredited for ACHD Fellowship training and an Adult Congenital Heart Association Comprehensive ACHD Center. We are a major referral center for high-complexity ACHD patients.

Our team consists of five full-time ACHD physicians and two Nurse Practitioners practicing at Columbia University Medical Center in Manhattan in addition to satellite offices in White Plains, NY, Greenvale, Long Island, and Englewood, NJ. We have our own ACHD echocardiography lab with a team of ACHD trained sonographers.

We are proud to provide the highest level of ACHD care and strive to ensure a positive experience for our patients living with congenital heart disease. Our Program is the medical home for our patients, and we seek to add another Nurse Practitioner who shares these views and will maintain our Program's long-standing culture of sensitivity, empathy, and nurturing for our patients.

Columbia University Medical Center offers a top-end salary and a competitive benefits package.

Primary responsibilities:

Under direct supervision of our ACHD physicians, the Nurse Practitioner will diagnose and treat patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Our Nurse Practitioners practice in a multidisciplinary environment and work closely with teams from cardiac surgery, interventional catheterization, electrophysiology, heart failure and mechanical circulatory support, maternal-fetal medicine, hepatology, and neurology.

In the outpatient setting, the Nurse Practitioner will be responsible for evaluating the ACHD patient in clinic in conjunction with the attending, and formulating the medical plan. They will order the appropriate diagnostic tests and follow up on these studies. They will interface with patients and their families to provide results. They will work together with the front office to assess the acute medical needs of our patients. They will participate in congenital heart conferences that include a weekly ACHD morning report, journal club and surgical conference.

Minimal qualifications:

· The successful candidate should have current New York State credentials that would satisfy employment at Columbia University.

· We have a strong research program and while not a prerequisite for this position, prior involvement in clinical research would be valuable.

· We recognize that most NPs will not have cared for many ACHD patients, and so we anticipate the need for a learning period and ongoing mentoring to build a robust knowledge base, as has been successfully achieved with our two existing nurse practitioners. Prior cardiology (adult or pediatric) experience as a RN or NP is preferred to serve as a foundation upon which ACHD knowledge can be built.
