History
Dansect prepared guidelines for a formal, national acceptable
educational program for the training of student perfusionists.
In 1995 the first National Educational Program started.
National agreement was established on basic entrance level
necessary to enter education program: Completed training as:
Nurse, Hospital Laboratory Assistant, Engineer with special
knowledge in medical techniques, physician
After being accepted as a student perfusionist, the students
have to deal with an educational program, which takes two
years to complete. The students can be trained in several
centres under the responsibility of the heads of the
department of extracorporeal circulation. 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 extracorporeal circulation or an associated area. After
having completed the program successfully, the student achieve
registration as a certified clinical perfusionist. The
education is recommended by The Danish Board of Health.
The Danish School of Perfusion is a national school and it
also recieve students from Norway, Iceland and Sweden. New
courses start every second year. |
