Perfusionist-basic licenses are only valid for a single two-year term before taking the ABCP exam. If the applicant was prevented from taking the ABCP exam before the single two-year license expires because of extenuating circumstances, the applicant may petition the Board, in writing, for an extension of the term of the license. Extensions are granted at the discretion of the Board.
In order to convert a Perfusionist-Basic license to a Perfusionist-Advanced license, after passing the ABCP exam, the Perfusionist-Basic licensee is required to ensure that the ABCP notifies the Board in writing on or before the expiration date of the license. When the Board receives the notification from the ABCP, the Board will issue a Perfusionist-Advanced license at no extra charge. Absent the requisite notification from the ABCP that the licensee has passed ABCP exam on or before the expiration date of the Perfusionist-Basic license, the licensee will have to file an application for a Perfusionist-Advanced license and submit a new application fee in order to be licensed as a Perfusionist-Advanced.
Perfusionist-Basic licensees who do not meet the requirements for a Perfusionist-Advanced license, such as passing the ABCP exam, are ineligible for licensure, and may not practice perfusion in Maryland. Once the licensee has met the requirements for Perfusionist-Advanced licensure, the licensee may apply for a Maryland Perfusion-Advanced license to practice perfusion.The applicant shall complete an application supplied by the Board:
