录取要求已更新。

The Cardiovascular Perfusion Program at McGovern Medical School is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (www.caahep.org）根据灌注教育认证委员会（AC-PE）的建议。

该计划提供了心血管灌注（12个月后的后肠饮料计划）的证书，满足了美国心血管灌注考试委员会的要求。

The program is considered workforce training; therefore, any coursework taken in this program is non-credit bearing and cannot be transferred to other institutions for degree seeking purposes.

LICENSURE OUTSIDE TEXAS–Prospective applicants should consult applicable licensing boards for any state in which they may wish to pursue licensure prior to beginning UTHealth’s Cardiovascular Perfusion Program to ensure the UTHealth program meets licensing requirements in that state. The prospective applicant is responsible for confirming the program meets eligibility requirements for licensure in any state outside the State of Texas.

Admissions Requirements (Class of 2022)*

  1. Bachelor’s degree (biological sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, or other health-related field preferred) and completion of the required semester credit hours as listed below with a minimum letter grade of C or above.
  2. Cumulative GPA of at least 3.20(at the time of application deadline and on the first start day of the program) based on a 4.0 scale. If a course is repeated (i.e. for a better grade), all grades will be incorporated in the computation. This method of calculation is adopted to give fair weight to applicants who attempted the course only once.
  3. It isrequiredthat applicants observe at least two clinical cases under the direction of a Certified Clinical Perfusionist prior to formal acceptance into the program (see bottom of this page) to take advantage of ourObservation Opportunity Program.
    ***Updated 3/17/2022:我们stronglyrecommend observing two cases; however, due to hospital restrictions resulting from COVID-19, we will be waiving the observation requirements for those applying to the class of 2023.***
  4. 美国公民身份或永久居民身份证明。（目前尚未接受国际申请人，因为该计划目前尚未获得美国教育部的认可。）
  5. Completed Program Application with fee.
Prerequisite Course(s) 学期

数学（大学代数或更高）；
强烈推荐3小时统计数据		 6
总学时 35
  1. 一般生物学9小时：尽管目前需要任何9小时的大学核心生物学，但我们建议在人类基础课程中进行高级课程，例如分子生物学，生物化学，病理学和其他使您更具竞争力的课程。不考虑“非生物学专业”的“入门”或课程。这些课程必须是“生物”课程。例如，盟军健康专业的微生物学将无资格。
  2. 通用化学8小时：实验室和一般化学2的通用化学1与实验室。不考虑“非化学专业”的“入门”或课程。
  3. Human Anatomy & Physiology 6hrs: These hours are in addition to the 9hrs of general biology and typically refer to Human Anatomy & Physiology 1 with Lab (4hrs) and Human Anatomy & Physiology 2 with Lab (4hrs). Although those are the most common, 3hrs of Human Anatomy and 3hrs of Human Physiology are acceptable. “Introductory” or courses for “non-biology majors” will not be considered.
  4. Cell Biology 3hrs: These also are independent of the 9hrs of general biology coursework.本课程将不允许替代。
  5. Physics 3hrs: This generally refers to the algebra-based College Physics 1 and College Physics 2. Calculus-based University Physics 1 and University Physics 2 will substitute. Physics 1 is more applicable to the field of Perfusion, but either is acceptable. “Introductory” or courses for “non-physics majors” will not be considered.
  6. Mathematics 6hrs: College Algebra is required at a minimum. Any class higher than College Algebra, including the recommended math-based Statistics, is acceptable.
  7. If you have any questions regarding specific course qualifications please forward the website link for the course description at the time of your question.

Observation Opportunity Program

***Due to COVID-19, observations have been suspended until further notice. This website will be updated when we are able to resume.***

程序高度建议观察(s)的cardiopulmonary bypass procedure(s) and is aware of difficulties in observing cases at many institutions due to HIPAA regulations. It is in the best interest of the applicant to observe to get a better understanding of the profession. If the applicant is unable to observe, it is highly recommend that you utilize the observation opportunity extended by this program. The cost of the application and background check is approximately $125. This cost will include 1 observation. Any additional observations will be offered at $50.00/observation. The observation program will run from the first Monday in February to the first Friday in December. For more information and application process, please contact Rusty Roussel (rusty.p.roussel@uth.tmc.edu).

International Education Evaluation Process Requirements

Prospective trainees applying for admission and who have completed coursework outside the United States at a non-American institution must have their foreign transcript go through a process called “Credential Evaluation”. This Credential Evaluation is completed by organizations accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).

该凭证评估是由国家证书评估服务协会（NACES）认可的组织进行的。这些组织的列表可以在www.naces.org

评估将确定申请人的外国学位是否等于该计划所需的程度。评估必须列出等效度，并包括GPA（平均级）计算以及逐路学分评估。

Interview Process

All applicants who meet the admissions requirements will be scheduled for a mandatory formal interview with the Admissions Committee. A second interview might be necessary if you are a finalist. This second interview will be with our Center for Advanced Heart Failure physicians.

Clinical Rotations

As with most perfusion education programs, this program has several long-distance clinical sites where trainees will be required to complete 4-6 week rotations. It is also possible that new affiliate sites will be added during any portion of the training period. Trainees should plan financially and personally to attend all affiliate sites at some point during training. These associated costs are in addition to primary tuition and are the responsibility of the trainee. While this will also be further elaborated on during the interview process, all applicants should commit to this obligation before applying. Submission of an application will imply your acceptance of these terms. For a list of these sites, please see the “Clinical Affiliates” tab.

Acceptance Requirements

Acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of outstanding prerequisites (if any), immunization screening (see below), immigration status clearance, Health Care Provider Basic Life Support/CPR certification, clearance of a mandatory criminal background check.

免疫和健康记录

All trainees are required to furnish an immunization record. Certain exemptions are allowed from immunization requirements. The following immunizations and screening tests are required for all trainees. UTHealth’s Employee Health Clinic will provide a self-pay option for trainees for various vaccines –https://uthealthservices.com/patient-resources/downloadable-forms/

**有关脑膜炎球菌疫苗的重要信息**

As of Spring 2012, Texas law (Texas Education Code 51.9192) mandates that Texas universities and health science centers require all new and transfer students show proof of vaccination against bacterial meningitis. The law does not apply to new and transfer students who are age 22 or older at the time of enrollment.

法律允许的唯一例外是：

  1. Trainees who can provide proof that a health care provider has determined that it would be a health risk for the student to have the vaccine; or,
  2. Trainees who use the Exemption Form issued by the Texas Department of State Health. Obtaining the required form from the Texas Department of Health Services to establish an exemption for reasons of conscience is a time-intensive process that takes approximately a month. If you are anticipating using this exemption then you will need to start this process early.

An online exemption request form can be found on the Texas Department of State Health Services website athttp://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize/school/default.shtm#exclusions
