Are CEU's needed for cardiovascular perfusionist?

Answer 1

CEU's are required for Perfusionists once they have taken the two part certification exam. As a practicing perfusionist it is your responsibility to maintain your certification by completing 45 credit hours of continuing education every three years. There is an additional clinical activity component to maintain certification. The American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion oversees this process. Complete details of the requirements and processes are available at their website abcp.org . There are three categories of CEU's as defined by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion. Minimum credit hours in category One must be earned along with the remainder in some combination of all three levels to reach the 45 credit hour threshold.
