Your application to the Perfusion Program must include documentation that you have completed at least 2 shadowing experiences. It is not mandatory to shadow a perfusionist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), and we encourage you to inquire about shadowing opportunities at your local hospital. If you do wish to shadow at VUMC, please follow the instructions below.
How to Shadow a Perfusionist at VUMC
- Submit the online application through the Vanderbilt Observational Experience Program (VOE). You will find more details here. For questions about the VOE application, please contact voe@vumc.org.
- After your application has been approved by the VOE team, please contact Mark Meholchick, BS, CCP, LCP, at mark.meholchick@vumc.org for assistance in scheduling your observation.
