Who we are We are a medical testing facility that specializes in comprehensive cardiovascular and pulmonary medical evaluations for first responders throughout New Jersey. Our practice was built out of the Captain Buscio Program, a foundation created by Donna Buscio after her husband, Captain Dominick Buscio of the Jersey City Fire Department, unexpectedly passed away at 39 from a heart attack. Our cardiovascular and pulmonary tests help current and retired members of the police force, state troopers, firefighters, and EMTs to be aware of their cardiovascular health and help to identify any health concerns. Employers do not mandate our tests and the results do not affect our patients' employment. Currently, we have five different locations across New Jersey and have hopes to open more soon. What we do We administer tests to evaluate heart and lung functionality. We offer seven different tests for our patients over a five-hour appointment time slot. Our patients can come back two weeks after their appointment to review their results with our board-certified medical professionals. What we are looking for As an Echocardiogram Technician, you will perform ultrasound examinations of the heart to assess its structure and function. You will prepare patients for procedures, operate echocardiography equipment, capture high-quality images of the heart, and assist in analyzing results.

Your work plays a vital role in helping to ensure patients receive accurate assessments and appropriate cardiac care. Responsibility Conduct transthoracic echocardiograms using ultrasound equipment to assess cardiac structure and function.
