About Perfusion Schools:

Perfusion as a profession began at the Texas Heart Institute School of Perfusion in 1976 and was founded by Perfusionist Charles Reed, CCP. The Cardiovascular Perfusion Program created by Charlie Reed, CCP endures today and trained more perfusionists than any other Perfusionist School.
