IMC is a very new hospital. I think it was built less than five years ago. There are five perfusionists, but you will only be working with four. One of the perfusionists decided that he didn't want to have students. You will work with the guy that is on first call, unless the first call guy is the perfusionist who opted out of working with students (you will then work with the second call guy.) I have been doing one or two cases a day at IMC. There are five different surgeons and the surgeons are great. They are very patient and very easy to work with. IMC just switched from running rollar pumps to centrifugal pumps. They also have run the Quest Microplegia system. Right now they are part of the PARTNER trial and are doing trans-apical and trans-femoral AVR's in the cath lab which are stand by cases for us. If you have any other questions just send me an email or give me a call and I will be more than happy to talk to you about IMC's program.
