5. Change to ABCP Recertification Policy
a. At the September meeting, the Committee discussed the changes that the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP) has made to its recertification process. The Committee decided to add a question to the license renewal process regarding the amount of cases pumped. Mr. Jimison will report back to the Committee after reviewing the ABCP’s Booklet of Information for clarification.
Staff Recommendation: For discussion
6. Converting Provisional Licenses to Full
