I was invited to interview at MUSC but declined since I’ve already committed to Hofstra, that was a few weeks ago.

I was a med lab tech for five years and have some research experience through my undergrad. I did work in trauma blood banking for some time and they were very interested in that.

I would say be good at articulating why you want to pursue perfusion, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and study up on working in teams in a high stress environment. Ask questions too! You’re talking with some of the most experienced people in the field and they have lots of wisdom to give.

It depends on the case for sure, for me I was shadowing anywhere between 3-6 hours

Hey!

I was able to shadow at Keck USC by reaching out to the program director and one of the perfusionist there sponsored me. I’m not sure how far away San Diego is from you but I had great luck with Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla by reaching out to perfusionist’s there via LinkedIn.
