ECMO specialist training includes ECMO equipment training, physiology of the diseases supported with ECMO, and physiology of coagulation. A bachelor's degree may be preferred but is not always required. Therefore, options 1 and 3 only (A) and 1, 2, 3, and 4 (B) are both incorrect. Option 3 and 4 only (C) eliminates ECMO equipment training, which is a necessary component of training. Therefore, D is the best choice.
