Perfusion Technology Programme

The Scandinavian School of Cardiovascular Technology

The Scandinavian School of Cardiovascular Technology is located in Aarhus, Denmark at Aarhus University Hospital. The Scandinavian School of Cardiovascular Technology is a joint venture education aimed primarily at Scandinavian perfusionists as a science based education at masters level. The Central Region in Denmark physically and administratively houses the school; Diploma for completed theoretical education is issued by Aarhus University and the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) accredits it. Completion of the practical education at the students "home clinic" and the theoretical education at Aarhus University Hospital automatically qualifies to EBCP certification.

The students are employed by their "home clinic" for 2 years to become practically trained in extracorporeal circulation during open heart surgery and related procedures. During that period they attend three modules with a duration of 6 weeks for each module at Aarhus University Hospital in Aarhus. The last of four semesters is devoted to conduction of a scientific project, which is terminated by writing a thesis and a public presentation and defense of the student´s scientific work.
