Choose a certified or registered cardiovascular therapist Graduates of cardiovascular therapy programs have the opportunity to sit for exams that give them either a credential or register them in cardiovascular therapy. When hiring therapists, focus on applicants who have taken exams given by Cardiovascular Credentialing International, or CCI. Cardiovascular sonographers should have a credential given after passing the exam from the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.

I recommend:  Contact CompHealth and they will list your hiring ad on their website for qualified cardiovascular therapy specialists. Put in a rate request with Hospital Jobs Online, and receive thousands of resumes from qualified candidates.

Hire cardiac critical care nurses for in-home visits Critical care nurses specialize in cardiac catheritization, pediatric cardiovascular treatments, drug monitoring and home health visits. A clinic that has one or two cardiac critical care nurses on staff can offer home health care services for follow-up care. This helps attract and keep patients suffering with long-term cardiovascular disease.

I recommend:  Gain an understanding of certifications, testing, education and employment in the cardiovascular therapies field at the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses. Hire cardiac nurses for your clinic through Cardioworking.com.

Network with cardiologists who provide cardiovascular protective therapies This option is great for general practitioners that want to give their patients the best recommendations, or therapists in other specialties that want a strong referral network. Networking with specific medical professionals means you'll have another doctor providing you with patients.

I recommend:  Locate and contact board certified cardiologists listed at Health Communities.com. Attend conferences and lectures where you can meet and network with cardiovascular therapy specialists and doctors through the American College of Cardiology.
