A PERFUSION PODCAST BY AND FOR PERFUSIONSTS

Perfusionists are (quite literally) the heart of the operation, keeping patients alive during life-saving cardiac surgeries. They’ve also been called the unsung heroes of the operating room and Checking the Vitals wants to change that. The healthcare podcast Checking the Vitals powered by SpecialtyCare, the leading perfusion employer in the United States, is launching a new perfusion-focused podcast series called Heart of the Operation. This healthcare podcast series is poised to turn the unsung into the celebrated and share the incredible and unique stories of the perfusion community. Heart of the Operation, a perfusion podcast series, will delve into the history of perfusion, discuss how and where individuals were trained, why they became perfusionists, and bring to life what it’s like to play such an integral role in the OR.
