Career Prospects

Non communicable disease, especially heart attacks are a major cause of morbidity and mortality not only in India but worldwide. This is the best time to enrol in this programme where the graduates will obtain broad based theoretical knowledge and up-to-date practical training in the current Cardiac Clinical Practice. The career opportunities are diverse with a huge choice of employment in the following areas.

  • Cardiology Physician Assistant
  • Electrocardiography
  • Tread Mill Stress Testing
  • 24 hours Ambulatory ECG Monitoring
  • Cardiac Catheterization Labs
  • Echo Cardiogram
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Preparing patient in open heart surgery
  • Pacemaker implantation

Apart from this, candidates wanting an academic career can enrol in a post-graduate programme in Cardiac Technology and be a “train the trainer” for a satisfying teaching and academic career
