History
The NeSECC prepared guidelines for a formal, national
acceptable educational program for the training of student
perfusionists. 1981 the first National Educational
Program.
The criteria in consideration to clinical and educational
experience for the formal registration and certification of
perfusionists were presented by the NeSECC. The first national
registration procedure as a qualified clinical perfusionist
was completed in 1984
National agreement was established on basic entrance level
nesseccary to enter education program: minimal a Bachelor of
Science degree in Chemistry, Biology or Physics
After being accepted as a student perfusionist, the students
have to deal with an educational program which takes about
three years to complete. The students can be trained in
several centres under the responsibility of the heads of the
department of extra-corporeal circulation. The criteria for
the theoretical and practical experience was described in the
Educational Guidelines produced by the Educational Committee.
In their last period of the education, the students have to
produce a report on a study carried out independently,
concerning a subject related to extra-corporeal circulation or
an associated area. After having completed the program
successfully the student could apply for an approval of the
Educational Committee and the Board of the society, in order
to achieve registration as a certified clinical
perfusionist.
In 1988 a recertification procedure was adopted |
|
In 1988 committee was originated to advise the
Ministry of Health in order to achieve governmental approval on the
educational criteria. Members of this committee are delegates of the
NeSECC, the Dutch Society for Thoracic Surgery, the Dutch Society
for Anaesthesiology and the National Hospital Council.
This committee produced a detailed description of the expertise of a
qualified perfusionist
They agreed to have a central institution in which the theoretical
program is teached and accepted the present criteria for scientific
reports.
The committee established a new formal registration, within the
organisation of the National Hospital Council. |
