Clinical training and internships provide hands-on experience, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in real surgical settings. They develop proficiency in handling perfusion equipment, monitoring patients, and responding to intraoperative complications.

Working under experienced professionals, trainees gain critical decision-making skills and confidence. These practical experiences enhance their ability to function independently in high-stakes environments, making clinical training an indispensable part of a perfusionist's education.

A Physician Assistant is a trained medical professional who works under the supervision of a licensed physician. Unlike doctors, they do not have independent practice rights and must work as part of a medical team.

However, within their role, PAs can assist in medical procedures, diagnose conditions, and support treatment planning. Their level of autonomy depends on institutional policies and regional healthcare regulations.
