Our perfusion program is the first in the United States that is structured with a dual track, resulting in a Master's of Science degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology, plus the technical and clinical training in Cardiovascular Perfusion. Located in Tucson, Arizona, we are an integrated graduate research program incorporating the investigation of pharmacological, biomaterials, laboratory and clinical aspects of extracorporeal circulation. This Perfusion Program has faculty members from the Pharmacology and Surgery Departments that are internationally recognized with diverse clinical and research interests. The research facilities are equipped and staffed to provide an excellent opportunity for a superb graduate research experience. It is recommended that applicants have recent academic training in chemistry through organic and biochemistry, biology through anatomy and physiology, and mathematics through physics.
Some clinical experience is recommended.
