Monash MCP Program

While the ANZCP has not yet accredited an academic course, it recognises the Monash University ‘Master of Clinical Perfusion’ (MCP) as providing an appropriate standard of academic knowledge required for competency, as outlined in the Competency Standards. This recognition is contingent upon the program being undertaken in parallel with a traineeship in Clinical Perfusion at an ANZBP-accredited training institution.
