UNIVERSITY OF IOWA

The University of Iowa is dedicated to training perfusion professionals through intensive academic preparation, laboratory simulation, and clinical education... The Perfusion Education Program started at Iowa in 1992. Our graduates are now spread across the country working in private hospitals as well as academic institutions. Our educational program starts with two semesters of intensive academic preparation and lab work. This is followed by three semesters of clinical education, along with several rotation sites across the United States. Students learn at their own pace while working one-on-one during regular hours and on call alongside staff perfusionists. Our students gain valuable experience with a variety of clinical procedures, both adult and pediatric, including hearts, transplants, VADS and ECMO.
