The document discusses recommendations for perfusion education programs. It suggests that programs should: 1) Be affiliated with an academic health center, require at least a bachelor's degree for entry, and ensure students gain experience through 150+ procedures. 2) Encourage post-graduate education, assess certification exam performance, and help more than 80% of graduates find jobs within a year. 3) Require dedicated teaching faculty, certified clinical faculty, and offer fellowships for continued learning. 4) Provide guidelines for standards, advanced education, certification, and scientific communication to strengthen the perfusion community.
