Additional Details / Questions Answered by Facility: * Ratio of MDs to CRNAs on a daily basis? -1 * Are there any times during the day/on-call that our provider will be running their own room? Occasionally, if the need arises but someone will take over your supervision of the CRNAs. * Any responsibilities for cases aside from cardiac/vascular/thoracic? Possibly, if the CV caseload is down on a certain day. * Do we have any idea of typical volumes of cases, including open hearts? Two ORs running most of the day. Will get case volume and send. * Is a cardiac fellowship required? Is a TEE certification required? I don't believe fellowship is required but TEE certification would be helpful. * Open to non-licensed candidates? Can we license/privilege simultaneously?
