Tiny Perfusion Letter #826

While you are doing your daily job in the OR, animal lab, ICU, cathlab, meeting room, conference hall, or just enjoying a wonderful day off, it is sometimes necessary to think about the less obvious sides of the profession:

Legislation. Licenses. Credentialing. Bills. Acts. Scopes of Practice. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Professionalism

It’s hard to keep tabs on this, but this eye-opening overview and call to action (see further) did all that work for you. We’re talking about you, US CCP’s. We believe it’s important you’re aware of the situation and take action in your state

We know we would, if we were a CCP (surprising shocker: we’re not)

But we have a 🫀 for the profession and we believe you have a 🫀 too, so read it and take action (ignore the fact that it states that it is not written for perfusionists…)
