Complete Description:
16-bed acuity-adaptable Pediatric Cardiac Care Center caring for critically ill pediatric congenital cardiac patients.


Advanced Practice Providers serve in a primary covering provider role and should be comfortable managing patients with congenital heart disease, including complex anatomy and physiology, in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.


The APP team cares for a wide range of high-acuity patients including pre- and post-operative pediatric cardiac surgical patients, high-risk single ventricle physiology, open chest management, arrhythmia management, vasopressor support, external and internal pacemakers, VA/VV ECMO, and CRRT.

While knowledge of ICU procedural skills is essential, the APP role is not primarily procedural. Our unit also occasionally provides care for adult patients with congenital heart disease requiring medical or post-operative management, as well as PICU boarder patients with a variety of critical care needs.
 

The ideal candidate is adaptable, collaborative, and thrives
in a dynamic critical care setting alongside physicians, nurses, respiratory
therapists, pharmacists, and other multidisciplinary team members.

 

Required completion of an ARC-PA approved
Physician Assistant program, an active New York State Physician Assistant
licensure in good standing and current national certification as a Physician
Assistant by NCCPA (National Commission on Certification of Physician
Assistants)

BLS from AHA
PALS from ABA

Preferred:

Pediatric Acute Care Physician Assistant certification
