— A Clinical Course in Mechanical Circulatory Support, CTICU, and the Cardiac Operating Room —

My name is David Convissar, MD, and my clinical and academic interests center on mechanical circulatory support, ECMO, and the care of critically ill cardiac patients. I am a fellowship-trained cardiac anesthesiologist and intensivist, with clinical experience spanning the cardiac operating room and cardiac surgical intensive care unit. I completed my medical school and anesthesia residency training at Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School before moving to Boston Massachusetts to complete my cardiothoracic anesthesia and critical care medicine fellowships. I currently serve as the ECMO ECPR Director at AdventHealth Orlando.

​

I am board certified in Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, and Transesophageal Echocardiography. My academic work includes publications in mechanical circulatory support and point-of-care ultrasound, as well as book chapters, medical illustrations, and other educational contributions featured in major journals and textbooks.

I am a member of the American College of Cardiology, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization.
