The Tennessee Board of Respiratory Care (TBRC) oversees the licensing and regulation of healthcare professionals, including Perfusionists. To gain a deep understanding of the licensing requirements, procedures, and regulations, we recommend visiting their official website at [TBRC](https://www.tn.gov/health/health-program-areas/health-professional-boards/resp-care-board.html).

Step 2: Meet the Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for an endorsement license as a Perfusionist in Tennessee, you must meet the following requirements:

1. Hold a current, valid license in another state.
2. Have completed an accredited perfusion education program.
3. Provide evidence of passing the certification examination administered by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (ABCP).
