The purpose of this compendium is to provide a curriculum of core competencies in mechanical circulatory support. The ISHLT Academy provides a concise synopsis of clinical knowledge and associated essential professional skills to facilitate the mastery of all surgical, medical and nursing aspects involved in the care of patients receiving mechanical circulatory support devices.
The core curriculum should also serve programs providing mechanical circulatory support with a tool to review their standards of care, develop protocols and implement guidelines established in mechanical circulatory support systems.
