Cardiac Catheterization Education for Paramedical Courses in India: Does the Cardiovascular Technology Course Curriculum Need to Be Updated?

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The onus of providing healthcare is no longer solely on physicians and nurses but also on paramedical staff, paraprofessionals, and health technicians, who all have an essential role to play in delivering health services. However, unlike medical and dental programs in the country, paramedical courses lack a uniform syllabus. Consequently, some universities or colleges offer cardiac catheterization education to Bachelor of Science in Cardiovascular Technology students, while others do not. So, it is essential that paramedical students receive a comprehensive cardiac catheterization curriculum to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver services proficiently in both hospital and community settings.
