Perfusionist - Cardiovascular

Cardiac surgery perfusion in Wisconsin's capital - lakes, a Big Ten campus, and a VA heart program.

The Community - Madison, WI
Madison sits on an isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with the State Capitol at its center and the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the lakeshore. It is a city built for life outside work: more than 200 miles of bike paths, year-round lake recreation, the Saturday Dane County Farmers' Market around Capitol Square, a thriving food and music scene, and Big Ten football and hockey. Housing costs remain well below the coasts, and Milwaukee, Chicago and the Wisconsin Dells are all an easy drive.

Airport Information
Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) - approximately 6 miles from the hospital. Milwaukee Mitchell International (MKE) - approximately 80 miles. Chicago O'Hare International (ORD) - approximately 140 miles.
