C. Therefore, it is the legislative intent and the purpose of this Part to promote, preserve, and protect the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating the practice of perfusion and ensuring that any individual practicing or offering to practice perfusion or using the title "perfusionist" shall be licensed before engaging in such practice.
