Shadowing a Perfusionist

An admissions requirement for the entry-level Master of Science in Cardiovascular Perfusion is to complete a shadow log after shadowing a perfusionist. We do not require that the shadowing experience be done at MUSC, yet if you would like to shadow with us, please read below for further instructions.

In order to shadow at MUSC, please email your request to roperde@musc.edu:

  • Please note that we schedule shadowing on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays only. Under Specific Date and Time Available on the Career Exploration Request form, we ask that you provide at least 3 dates that you would be available to shadow.   
  • Due to an increase in shadowing requests, please understand that your preferred dates may not be available. Requests are processed as they are received, and it is recommended that you begin the process well in advance of your desired date or deadline.

After your paperwork has been approved and your date confirmed, we will email you back with further directives in preparation for your shadowing experience at MUSC. Please note, we allow one shadowing opportunity per application cycle.
