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 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.
