Perfusionist

The Job

Methodist Health System is looking for an ECMO specialist to work day shifts at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. You'll be part of a team that handles some of the most complex cases in the region, so this isn't a role where you're just checking boxes. You'll be embedded in patient care from start to finish.

Your job is to help develop and execute a treatment plan for patients on ECMO. That means you're doing real assessment, planning, implementation, and education. You'll be in constant communication with the ECMO physician and the rest of the healthcare team to interpret data, adjust settings, and make sure the patient's care plan is actually working. This is collaborative work, and your voice matters.

What You'll Actually Do

• Participate in developing a treatment plan specific to each ECMO patient
• Assess, plan, implement, and educate throughout the patient's stay
• Communicate with the ECMO physician and healthcare team to interpret, adjust, and complete the care plan
• Work 12 hour day shifts, 3 days a week

What You Need

• A Bachelor's degree
• Completion of a designated ECMO training program or formal education in Extra Corporeal Circulation
• One of the following licenses: Registered Nursing License (Texas Board of Nursing), or RRT Registered Respiratory Therapist License with current NBRC certification, or CCP Certified Perfusion License
• Basic Life Support (BLS) from the American Heart Association
• Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) from the American Heart Association
• At least 2 years of critical care experience
