| Hello,My name is McKenna from Youngstown, Ohio. I am trying to find information on how to Shadow a perfusionist. I can travel as far as Chicago to New York down to Kentucky or Tennessee easily.
I have worked as a Respiratory Therapist for 9 years. I am looking to progress my profession further in an area that utilizes the experience I have with ventilation and the cardiovascular system. I have tried to go through channels of networking within my RT community to see if I can have a gateway to learn and experience perfusion. Right now all I have is the books and reading material I have acquired on my own to learn about the profession. I was wondering if someone from here could help me in this search to bank shadowing hours so I can accomplish what I have set my mind on. Thank you. McKenna S. |

| My name is Christine and I am a prospective perfusion student. I am hoping that I can shadow you or that you can put me in contact with someone who likes shadows. I live in Indianapolis but I am willing to make the drive to wherever there is an opportunity.I am a CVICU nurse and I have been working as an RN for about 5 years, and almost all of it has been CVICU. My favorite part of what I do in the ICU has always been the machines, whether it is ECMO or IABPs, and teaching new hires. I have actually never seen a perfusionist work in the OR though. I have done my research, but before I make a leap into a new career, I think it is vital that I shadow for a pumped case.
Thank you for your consideration and time. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Christine P.S.-We have actually worked together before and I am in the blog. (Locums ScrapBook entry from 3/23/16) |

| Hi,My name is Quinn and I am currently in my senior undergraduate year pursuing a degree in Biochemistry at UCLA. I heard about cardiac perfusion in my first year of college and have been interested in pursuing a career in the field since. Before I decide to dedicate my life to the field I really would like the opportunity to shadow a perfusionist on a case and get a little bit of a feel for what the day to day tasks actually entail. I’ve been doing some research and its been hard to track someone down in my area. Is there any way someone here can point me in the direction of a perfusionist that may be interested in allowing me to shadow for a few days? Or any direction on how I can better search for someone myself? Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time. |

| Hello my name is Anna. I am applying to University of Nebraska Medical Center to their Clinical Perfusion program. For their program, they require that applicants have 3 conversations with perfusionists about their job responsibilities and point of view. The conversation can be over IM but I would need a perfusionist’s name, phone number, and email. I have already met 2 perfusionists but I am having trouble cold calling hospitals to try to find another. How can I find another perfusionist to talk to?Thank you |

| Do employers prefer those who have a degree in perfusion over those who have a certificate? Would finding a job be difficult with only a certificate? Are wages higher with a degree? |

| To whom it may concern,My name is Melit and I am an undergraduate biochemistry student with a very strong interest in pursuing a career in perfusion. As I am in my third year of school here at UW-Madison and intend to apply to perfusion school immediately after graduation, I would like to accrue experience shadowing a perfusionist in the Madison WI area to determine whether this career path is right for me and to gain hands-on experience seeing the work a perfusionist must regularly do. I fully understand the difficulties associated with having a student potentially shadowing, especially in regards to potentially infringing on patients’ privacy and comfort levels during a procedure as well as any other potential problems my presence may bring, and that these factors may prevent perfusionists in my area from accepting my request. Nevertheless, I would like to request help in finding a perfusionist to shadow in the Madison WI area, and I would appreciate any aid in accomplishing this goal. If you have any potentially useful information for me, please shoot an email on over to [email protected].
Thank you for any help and I hope you all have a wonderful day. -Melit |
