News from Trident Health Resources, Inc.

The landscape of the perfusionist's job has changed from the early days of our industry. It's more complex. Hospitals are facing unprecedented economic challenges. American health care and insurance are in a state of influx. Perfusion staff shortages are reportedly critical in some areas of the North (most notably in Canada, according to news sources in March).

If you work in perfusion or a hospital department, you know that patients are savvier today than ever and demand the highest level of patient care. Good clinical skills are mandatory. Having good people skills is as important as attention to detail in case reporting. And on a personal note, it is likely that each of us as industry professionals seek the same ideals: work we love with intrinsic reward, as well as desire for compensation and benefits that support the life we design for ourselves and family.

Perhaps nothing is more important today for the perfusionist in "being employable" is to recognize the need to be flexible. While excellence in technical skills makes a perfusionist a strong clinician, it is also essential to have transferable skills. Being able to work with diverse staff on the job cannot be underestimated. Parallel to that, hospitals want high performers who are well balanced, cooperative, and professional.

Trident trains and supports our perfusionists to be the best they can be. In fact, at some of Trident's long term accounts, our perfusionists have mastered the true spirit of teamwork with the surgeons and operating room staff they assist in open heart surgery such that the work is metaphorically like a symphony... harmonized in movement and almost unspoken in unified tasks. It is a true testament to our success to note case study after another that we have achieved the spirit of "team" in the open heart surgery programs we serve .

Trident provides perfusion services across the nation and abroad, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are growing AGAIN and we need more good perfusionists to employ within our new accounts. If you are seeking a place to work that is more than just a job and you have the experience, attitude, and transferable skills that are as strong as your perfusion clinical training, we want to hear from you.
