Atrium Health Levine Children’s announces an opening for a full-time pediatric neuropsychologist in the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental (CND) Program. Our CND program participates in the national Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative (CNOC) partnering with families to optimize neurodevelopmental outcomes for children born with congenital heart disease (CHD). This neuropsychologist would be supported by a LCSW/education liaison, psychometrician, scheduler, and program manager. The patient population consists of individuals (infants – 21 years of age) born with CHD or heart transplant recipients.
The Congenital Heart Center, established in 2010, has been ranked as one of the top-50 pediatric heart centers in the country by U.S. News and World Report for the last nine years. Our comprehensive services include cardiac imaging, diagnostic and interventional catheterization, invasive electrophysiology, dedicated cardiovascular intensive care staff, and regional referral programs in heart failure/transplantation, adult congenital heart disease, and fetal echocardiography. Surgical and cardiac catheterization volume are growing at a rate of 10-15% per year. Our state-of-the-art two lab cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology suite opened in February of 2017, with dedicated staffing and anesthesia teams. Our new outpatient office complex opened in December 2020, designed to treat all patients from fetal cardiology to ACHD. We have one of the most comprehensive Cardiac Neurodevelopment programs in the Southeast, providing a multitude of specialty services to our congenital heart patients in the same office suite. Participation in investigator initiated and multi-center industry sponsored studies is ongoing within the Heart Center, with the support of an active clinical research department.
