Bylaws of the Canadian Society of Clinical Perfusion






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, 2009 and 2015. 

The competency profile outlines the compulsory skills of an entry-to-practice perfusionist to provide safe, effective, compassionate, and ethical patient care in a variety of work environments. Companion resources are used in conjunction with the profile to provide further guidance and details to support the competencies outlined within the profile.

The September 2015 profile should be studied for the 2023 Certification examination.  The December 2022 profile will be used after the 2023 exam.
