ECMO and mechanical circulatory support roles are staffed very differently from one program to the next. Some centers build their ECMO service around perfusionists, others around ECMO-trained RNs or respiratory therapists, and coordinator roles may sit in nursing, perfusion, or the transplant program. We recruit permanently across these roles and start by clarifying which model your program uses, what scope the role carries, and which credentials you require.
Perfusion-run, nursing-run, respiratory-run, and blended ECMO models call for different candidates. We define the model at intake rather than assuming one.
Licensure, certification, and scope requirements vary by program and by state. We screen against what your program actually requires, not a generic profile.
Clinician information is shared with a prospective employer only as part of an agreed submission for a specific opportunity.
No. Perfusion is a distinct profession with its own credentialing. Some programs staff ECMO with perfusionists, others with ECMO-trained nurses or respiratory therapists, and some use a blended team. We recruit for the model your program uses and keep the roles separate.
Requirements vary by program, by role, and by state scope of practice. We confirm the specific licensure, certification, and training your program expects before we begin outreach.
Yes. We place permanent roles only. We do not staff locums or travel assignments.
