Additional Details / Questions Answered by Facility:

Ratio of MDs to CRNAs on a daily basis? -1
Are there any times during the day/on-call that our provider will be running their own room? Occasionally, if the need arises but someone will take over your supervision of the CRNAs.
Any responsibilities for cases aside from cardiac/vascular/thoracic? Possibly, if the CV caseload is down on a certain day.
Do we have any idea of typical volumes of cases, including open hearts? Two ORs running most of the day. Will get case volume and send.
Is a cardiac fellowship required? Is a TEE certification required? I don't believe fellowship is required but TEE certification would be helpful.
Open to non-licensed candidates? Can we license/privilege simultaneously? If they have an Arkansas license it would obviously help with expediting the process.
