Rush-Copley

There are 2 perfusionist, and 2 surgeons. All are great, and really have a lot to share and teach. Michael Djuric was the head of the perfusion program at Rush University for years and is a wealth of information. So take advantage if you get to work with him. The man knows what types of board questions are asked, and has offered up his old exams, and papers to study from. The surgeon is awesome, great attitude, willing to teach and just a fun guy. The heart team is also fantastic. A great site, but a little case load. If you get this site, be sure to confirm with Ed that at least one of your other rotations is high volume, or you just won't get enough cases under your belt. They ONLY do CABGs and Valves, so keep that in mind. Their equipment is all Jostra/Maquet products and they are a model site for others to come look at their setup. It's a pretty fancy machine with some of the newest technology, a very challenging circuit.

Any other questions, feel free to ask!
