The National Entry-Level Competency Profile for Clinical Perfusionists was first developed by the Canadian Society of Clinical Perfusion (CSCP) in 1996. Revisions were published in 2003 and 2009.
This latest version, dated September 2015, was developed to ensure that the profile remains current with perfusion practice and complies with the Guiding Principles for National Competency Profiles (March 2014) and the Template for Submission of a Revised National Competency Profile (March 2014) published by Canadian Medical Association Conjoint Accreditation Services.
