Event Details: The University of Nebraska Medical Center Clinical Perfusion Education is currently offering three online opportunities for Perfusionists. First is a series of practice online examinations as a preparatory tool for your board certification examination. We have collected a pool of about a thousand unique ECC-related questions distributed into a series of nine online exams. The exams are auto-graded by the computer and provide immediate feedback. Upon registration, the participant has a 7 day access period to the databank utilizing our online examination tool. The registration fee is $250.00 . The next opportunity is our Extracorporeal Technology Review (ETR) designed for both the experienced or new-graduate Perfusionist to bring currency in the fundamentals of extracorporeal technology. There are 6 eight-hour sessions that include some live classroom activities to be experienced from the comforts of the location of your choice. The sessions are delivered as lectures entirely at your convenience within the 6-day period. The registration fee for the 6 days and on-line tool access is $650.00. Please visit for additional information http://www.unmc.edu/alliedhealth/cpe/etr.htm on this meeting. Our third online opportunity, Perioperative Blood Management (PBM) is open anybody practicing blood management at any level. Currently the focus is at a technologist pathway but a specialist pathway is soon to be announced. We utilize both synchronous and asynchronous tools to bring flexibility but maintain a live personalized approach focused for your busy schedule. This is a perfect opportunity to provide necessary training for those practicing autotransfusion in your institution. The registration fee for all 6 days and on-line tool access is currently $650.00.

Event Details: One of the biggest, littlest perfusion meetings around! Big on content, big on Category I CME points, big on value, big on fun!! TEAM SUNY is an ABCP recognized professional perfusion meeting hosted by the Department of Cardiovascular Perfusion at SUNY Upstate Medical University. SUNY is one of the oldest perfusion programs in the nation having graduated our first class in 1976. We have remained strong through these three decades largely through the support of the perfusion community and our extensive network of alumni. The purpose of this meeting is to thank all the perfusionists who have and continue to support perfusion education and research at our institution by offering a FREE meeting. By pooling the resources of our university and the support of our sponsors, we put together a National Caliber meeting and open it to the entire perfusion community. We have negotiated a "State Rate" at a local 4 star hotel so that your visit to Syracuse will be both comfortable and affordable. In fact, we have heard that in the past some perfusionists have flown across the country and attended our meeting for less money than it would have cost them to attend a meeting in their own city!
