About the Department
Perfusion is a health sciences discipline that artificially maintains the patient's blood circulation and oxygenation by operating the heart-lung machine during open-heart surgeries. Perfusionists play a critical role in the operating room environment as indispensable members of the cardiovascular surgical team.
The program offers a practical curriculum that covers extracorporeal circulation technologies, hemodynamic monitoring, anticoagulation management, and organ preservation techniques alongside basic medical sciences education. Students have the opportunity to translate their theoretical knowledge into practice through clinical internships.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can work as perfusionists in various healthcare institutions, primarily in the cardiovascular surgery departments of university hospitals and private hospitals.
