Are you an experienced, sharp CT / CVOR Surgical Scrub Tech looking for a high-paying travel gig where your elite skills are truly valued? This is your opportunity to step into a leading regional healthcare system known for its advanced cardiac care and exceptional team culture.
We are staffing for an elite perioperative heart team in Upstate New York. If you thrive under the lights of high-acuity suites, lock onto the rhythm of complex open-heart cases, and want to spend your off-hours exploring beautiful scenic landscapes, let’s talk.
What You’ll Do (The Caseload)
As a crucial member of this high-impact heart team, you will seamlessly coordinate with surgeons and perfusionists across dynamic, high-volume surgical suites:
