Editor’s Note:
Having been to this hospital, worked a brief locums gig, and met the staff, I can tell you that this is a fantastic opportunity! The people are great, and hospital is amazingly friendly. The staff in particular impressed me and is a mix of experienced as well as as younger perfusionists who all have the same things in common… talent, dedication, and teamwork!
Des Moines is an awesome place to live, go to school, and raise a family. There are few opportunities you will find, that match this one. Yes I’m biased, but I have seen many many programs- and this is truly a great one!
