The BS Cardiac Perfusion program at Superior University trains students in the highly specialized science of extracorporeal circulation — operating heart-lung bypass machines that sustain patients through open heart surgery. The curriculum covers cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO, VAD support, paediatric and congenital cardiac perfusion, autotransfusion, and cardiac catheterisation lab technology.

Clinical placements take place in cardiac surgery suites and catheterisation labs at CMATRH (600-bed in-house hospital) with real operative experience alongside cardiac surgery teams. The curriculum is aligned with international perfusion standards from AmSECT (American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology) and EBCP (European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion). The 3U1M model guarantees one full year of clinical market engagement before graduation.

Character

Ultimate Responsibility for a Beating Heart — A cardiac perfusionist operates the machine that replaces the heart and lungs during surgery. This program builds professionals who understand the weight of this responsibility — practicing with absolute precision, zero tolerance for error, and a profound commitment to the patient on the operating table.

Courage

The Courage to Perform in Cardiac Surgery — Open heart surgery is the highest-stakes environment in medicine. Students are trained to maintain composure under extreme clinical pressure, make rapid technical decisions, and perform flawlessly in the controlled chaos of a cardiac operating theatre.

Competence

International-Standard Perfusion Expertise — Students develop hands-on competence in heart-lung bypass machine operation, ECMO circuits, VAD support, paediatric perfusion, autotransfusion, and haemodynamic monitoring — meeting the AmSECT and EBCP international standards demanded by cardiac surgery programmes globally
