If you get a license in Illinois and you let your CCP lapse can you still legally work in IL? Is a current ccp required to renew?
Yes, you can work as long as your license is current. The ccp is not
a requirement to renew your license in IL. The licensing board did not
stipulate a set number of cases that needed to be pumped to renew once you
have received a license.
Can you use the forms provided by the ABCP for documentation of
the cases needed to grandfather ( the 200 cases)?
As long as the form has the necessary information on it you may use
a different form for the filing of the cases.
If you get a license in Illinois and let it lapse to go work in
another state for three years or more do I need to take the ABCP to get back
into IL?
If you are actively practicing in another state( it doesn't matter
if that state is licensed or not) you may come back to Illinois through a
restoration process. There are different forms and affadavits to be filled
out by the state that you are active in. Active is difined as at least 40
open heart cases a year.
If you maintain a license in Illinois but do not work in
Illinois does this effect your license renewal?
No, as long as you are current and are actively practicing
somewhere.
I looked up some perfusion acts from other states including: Missouri,
Tennesse, New Jersey, Massachusets, and Texas- The law in everyone of these
states is similar to our law. They all required accredit schooling and the
board exam and supervision of new grads by licensed perfusionist until the
graduate passes the exam.
I hope this information is helpful.
Call IDPR if you have any other questions- Please remember to be polite to
them. They didn't write the law . They just enforce it .
