Perfusionist-Part Time

Perfusionist Opportunity in Richmond, Virginia

One full-time perfusionist and two to three part-time call-coverage CCPs. $130.00 per hour.

Richmond is a full-size city that still lives like a small one. The Fan and Church Hill offer walkable historic neighborhoods; Short Pump, Midlothian and Glen Allen offer space, schools and a fifteen-minute commute. The James River runs straight through downtown with Class III rapids inside the city limits. You are an hour from Williamsburg, two hours from Virginia Beach, two from the Blue Ridge, and ninety minutes from Washington DC without paying Washington DC prices. Richmond International Airport is twenty minutes from the medical center with direct service to most major hubs.

A tertiary federal medical center with an established cardiothoracic surgery service. The perfusion seat supports open-heart and valve cases with autotransfusion, intra-aortic balloon pump, centrifugal ventricular assist and membrane oxygenation support. Equipment is provided and maintained by the facility. This is a single-perfusionist program, which means you own the pump room and you work directly with the surgical team rather than through three layers of scheduling.
