Master of Science in Perfusion Sciences (M.S.P.S.)

Excel in Clinical Care

Cardiovascular perfusionists are specialized, integral members of the cardiac surgery team. They are responsible for maintenance and support of a patient’s cardiovascular, hemodynamic, and metabolic state and function by utilizing the heart-lung machine, as well as additional ancillary devices in the cardiac operating room. A Master’s degree from the USC Master of Science in Perfusion Sciences Program prepares qualified students to enter the dynamic world of cardiovascular perfusion. The program provides the knowledge base, clinical experience, and resources necessary to become a highly trained, competent perfusionist, while also becoming a compassionate, caring member of a healthcare team.
