Description
Salman Butt and co-authors argue that perfusion training must teach soft skills in a 2026 paper. Perfusionists run heart-lung machines during surgery, where clear talk and teamwork save lives. Such skills are taught unevenly today. Key domains include communication, leadership, adaptability, emotional intelligence, conflict handling, professionalism, and cultural awareness.
The authors suggest joint simulations, guided debriefs with feedback, and short courses on talking through conflict. Mentored rotations with behavior checklists and milestone credit also help. Clear goals and simple proven tests can anchor the teaching. Steady adoption, they argue, would lift teamwork, crisis handling, and patient safety across programs.
