B.Sc Cardiovascular Technology at KMC

Mangalore

Cultivating skill and precision for excellence in cardiac care.

The Bachelor of Science in Cardiovascular Technology (CVT) at Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, MAHE, is designed to train you to operate and manage advanced cardiovascular diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, with focus on diagnosing cardiac and vascular disorders through imaging and monitoring tools, with clinical exposure at Kasturba Hospital.

You can gain expertise in cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and electrophysiology, focusing on real-time patient monitoring, interventional assistance, and bridging clinical cardiology with technical proficiency.

Program Highlights

In-Depth Clinical Experience: Our CVT program offers extensive clinical exposure through a year-long internship at a tertiary care hospital with access to advanced cardiac labs and monitoring systems.

Expert Faculty Mentorship: All our faculty members hold postgraduate degrees, many are pursuing or have completed PhDs, ensuring that you obtain high-quality teaching and research guidance.

Applied and Research-Based Learning: We provide a concentrated simulator-based practice, direct patient handling, and a mandatory thesis/project that helps you to strengthen your practical and research skills.

Multi-disciplinary focus: Our program is designed with an interdisciplinary approach where cardiac instrumentation is taught by biomedical engineering experts along with combined learning with allied health and medical students for a deeper understanding of cardiovascular care.
