Non-Award
Medical perfusion has been practiced as a discipline in Australia for more than three decades. Thus far the training has been conducted on an apprenticeship basis with no formal theoretical component. The Australasian Society of Medical Perfusion (ASMP) in conjunction with the University of Melbourne, has developed an online professional development course to provide the theoretical knowledge base needed for the study and practice of medical perfusion.
Students can enroll in an eLearning component (available for specialities in certain disciplines) or eLearning and practical components (available only for trainees and ASMP members only). For the practical training, it will be conducted in hospitals supervised by the ASMP. This will comprise of gaining the practical skills in operating a heart lung machine and simulator-based training to enable the candidate to efficiently manage emergency situations. The objective is to produce graduates that are well versed in both the theory and practice of the discipline.
