Responsibilities
Requisition # 16517Job Description
At Cedars-Sinai, the work you perform daily has a direct effect on the lives of others. Our enthusiastic and committed culture has resulted in six Magnet designations for nursing excellence.
The Smidt Heart Institute is proud to be the top in California, ranked #6 nationally, and regularly listed among the leading heart programs by U.S. News & World Report. As a coordinated health organization, our patients benefit from the scientific and clinical progress we achieve across the full spectrum of cardiovascular care.
The Congenital Heart Program at Cedars-Sinai serves patients across the entire lifespan, from newborns and children born with complex heart conditions to teenagers navigating the transition to adult care, and adults of all ages living with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Thanks to advances in medical and surgical care, the majority of people born with congenital heart disease now survive into adulthood, making lifelong, coordinated care more important than ever. Our program is built around this reality.
Care is highly coordinated across Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's and the Smidt Heart Institute, with a deliberate and structured approach to transition, ensuring that as patients grow and their needs evolve, their care team evolves with them. This transition process is not a single handoff, but an ongoing, developmentally informed journey that prepares patients and families for adult-centered care while preserving the relationships and institutional knowledge built over a lifetime of treatment.
Skilled pediatric and adult congenital cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, advanced practice providers, and nurses collaborate closely across both programs to diagnose and treat a wide range of congenital heart defects and acquired conditions. Care is delivered across inpatient, outpatient, and perioperative settings, with close partnership between cardiology, cardiac surgery, the catheterization laboratory, and surgical teams.
At the center of everything is a commitment to providing every patient at every stage of life with an exceptional, connected, and deeply personalized experience.
