The Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology Program (CVPT) is a post graduate program for Allied Health Professionals (Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Biomedical Engineering Technologists or Bachelor of Science Graduates). Graduation from the program allows the skilled operation of extra-corporeal equipment used to support or take over the patient's cardiopulmonary function.
This program was cooperatively developed by Vancouver General Hospital and UCC, and is accredited by the Conjoint Committee of the Canadian Medical Association. The didactic portion is offered on an independent-study, tutor-supported basis. The clinical portion must be completed at a training facility that is affiliated with the CVPT program at the University College of the Cariboo.
