GhostRx is hiring a Cardiac Echo Technologist (Cardiac Sonographer) to join the Cardiology Section at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, providing non-invasive cardiac imaging to the Veterans who served our country. You'll perform transthoracic echocardiograms using M-mode, 2D, 3D, and Doppler modalities; assist cardiologists with TEE and stress echo studies; calculate quantitative measurements per ASE guidelines; and archive studies to PACS and VistA Imaging. Portable bedside exams in the ICU, CCU, and ED are part of the role, along with routine equipment QC and TEE probe disinfection logging. We're looking for a graduate of an accredited DMS or cardiovascular technology program with current RDCS (ARDMS) or RCS (CCI) registration, active BLS (ACLS preferred), and hands-on TTE, TEE assist, and stress echo experience. U.S. citizenship and English proficiency are required per 38 USC §7402(d). If you're a credentialed echo tech who values mission-driven work and serving those who served, apply today.

• Assist cardiologists with transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE), stress echocardiograms (exercise and pharmacologic), and contrast-enhanced studies, including patient monitoring throughout each procedure.

• Adapt scanning technique to accommodate patient-specific variables such as limited mobility, body habitus, prosthetic devices, surgical hardware, post-operative dressings, and atypical thoracic anatomy.

• Identify, document, and bring to the reading cardiologist's attention findings indicative of valvular disease, wall motion abnormalities, congenital defects, pericardial effusions, intracardiac masses, and other clinically significant pathology.
