the antipodean culture, he and his partner decided to return. He joined our group in November 2017.
Manel San Pablo joined our team as a perfusion trainee in July 2016 and became qualified in October 2018. Before then, she was the cardiac surgery charge nurse at Wakefield Hospital. She mainly trained at Wakefield under the skilled watchful eye of Tony McMillan. She divided her time between Wakefield and Wellington Hospital to keep up her cases and experience learning under various perfusionists. She currently works at Wakefield Hospital as the main staff perfusionist. She also works with us at Public a couple days a month.
We are also a clinical perfusion training site for The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). We – of course – are
taking a break from the program until the border opens again. We began taking perfusion trainees from MUSC in August 2017. The student travels to Wellington for a two month training rotation. The perfusion training program at MUSC includes one year of didactic and simulation studies followed by 4-two month clinical rotations at various sites. The program has been popular with our surgical group. The surgeons and anaesthetists have both been very supportive of our American trainees.
Thank you for reading about our group. I am immensely proud of our department, and I have enjoyed sharing our neck of the woods with everyone. Ngā mihi.
