r/prospective_perfusion

Hello! I recently heard about the perfusion masters and am very interested. I have a clinical/research background (1 year Medical Assistant and 3 clinical research), a BS (3.7 something) and MPH (3.9 something) (I have most of the prereqs already), and some extracurriculars/awards. Realistically what are my chances of getting into a program? All feedback welcome as I am new to this specialty

Edit: I have a connection in my hospital for a shadowing opportunity after hours to make sure I am interested

Saw a similar post here yesterday but have an extra little wrinkle.

I'm a prospective student but have always been the primary parent. I'm set on this profession though. Does anyone have experience going through school, particularly the clinical rotations, with little kids *but as the primary parent*?

My kids would be 7 and 4 by the time clinical rotations happen if I'm lucky enough to get in for Summer/Fall 2027
