History
SWESECT has prepared guidelines for a formal, nationally
accepted educational programme for the training of student
perfusionists. The first National Educational Programme was
approved in 1987, by the Faculty of Medicine at Göteborg
University. The first course was examined in 1989.
The Swedish school in Göteborg is one of
Scandinavias two EBCP-accrediated schools of perfusion.
The criteria in consideration to clinical and educational
experience for authorization of perfusionists were presented
by the SCANSECT (Scandinavian Society for Extracorporeal
Technology). The first scandinavian perfusionists were
authorized in 1991.
The qualifications for admittance to the education are:At
least three years of university education in Health and Caring
Sciences or Technology and Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
from upper secondary school.
The one- year education consists of a theoretical and a
practical part. The students have to document their practical
cases in the EBCP logg-book. At the end of the course the
students have to prove their skills in an oral, written and
practical exam.
After having completed the programme successfully the students
have to do one hundred independent cases before applying for a
SCANSECT-authorization.
The authorization committee members are: The general secretary
of SCANSECT
a perfusionist, a thoracic surgeon, a thoracic
anaesthesiologist and a representative from the perfusion
education programme. |
