The Illinois State Perfusion Society (ISPS) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the professional interests of Licensed Perfusionists practicing in Illinois. Since the formation of our society in 1995, the largest and most valued means of support has been our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM). The ASM has continually helped perfusionists from Illinois and beyond stay current in the practice of extracorporeal therapies. To provide our audience a diversity of presenters with timely information, the ISPS encourages students and recent graduates to become active participants in our ASM.
