CertificationCertification
• Certification (Credentialing):– Measures, in a standardized and unbiased manner, the ability of the
candidate to apply the knowledge and skills in the role of a professional.
– Passing a certification establishes that the individual is minimally competent to work unsupervised in a given field or profession.
– Certification does not mean that an individual knows everything required to be considered an expert in a given field.
• Continuing Education:– Keeps the professional current by updating their knowledge base and
teaching them new skills.– Frequently is associated with the development of a specialty.– May also be based on a specific modality or tool.– Assumes that the individual participating possesses all of the
foundational knowledge required of the minimally competent professional.
– Generally does not meet the threshold for credible certification for exam content, structure and administration.

• Would you propose two exams?– Pediatric and adult– How often would these be updated
• Hospital impact– Time away from work = one CCP– Cost to take exam
• Who pays

ConclusionConclusion
• I hate to think what would happen if my pager went off at 9 years 12 months 30 days and 23 hours post my most recent certification…
Legally, I would no longer be qualified to operate the bypass equipment when the patient was ready!!!!
As bad as when we have to change our oxygenator after 6 hours!!

ConclusionConclusion
Perfusionists are some of the most dedicated individuals in the operating room.
– Taking another exam will not improve this.– Increasing the CE requirement may increase
our knowledge and improve our change/acceptance of change rate
Finally, I can find no evidence to support the idea that recertification
will improve our profession!!
