Master of Respiratory Technology (Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care) at MCHP

Manipal

Be the specialist who keeps every breath safe.

Master of Science in Respiratory Technology (Neonatal & Paediatric Respiratory Care) is a two-year postgraduate program designed for graduates in respiratory technology who wish to develop specialised expertise in respiratory care for newborns, infants, and children.

The program strengthens clinical knowledge and practical skill in neonatal and paediatric respiratory management, mechanical ventilation, pulmonary diagnostics, and emergency respiratory support. Students gain experience in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), paediatric intensive care units (PICU), and specialised hospital departments while completing a research project that builds evidence-based clinical practice.

Through classroom learning, simulation training, and clinical exposure, the program prepares graduates to deliver respiratory care for critically ill neonates and paediatric patients.
