Case Observation/Perfusionist Interview Form

The Program is aware of difficulties in observing cases at many institutions due to HIPAA regulations. We offer an opportunity for observation through our program (fees apply). It is in the best interest of the applicant to observe to get a better understanding of the profession. If the applicant is unable to observe, we highly recommend interviewing with some perfusionists regarding the profession.
