Introduction:
Cardiovascular and Thoracic Technology (International Program) focuses on preparing students with the knowledge and practical skills needed in modern cardiovascular care. The program covers key areas such as cardiovascular surgical technology, non-invasive investigations including echocardiography, interventional procedures, and cardiac electrophysiology.
Students learn through hands-on and interactive approaches, including case-based and simulation-based learning, alongside enhanced clinical internship experiences in hospitals and medical companies. This ensures graduates are well-equipped to work in advanced healthcare settings and support cardiovascular specialists effectively.
