The program, which began in 1976, offers a post-baccalaureate certificate in perfusion technology through its 18-month course. New classes begin every six months in January and July.
The Texas Heart Institute at Baylor College of Medicine has a rich history of stalwart clinician-educators, such as Dr. Leachman and The Texas Heart Institute president emeritus Dr. James T. Willerson, and many others, who take tremendous pride in training our fellows.
