The students from paramedical sciences are termed as clinical health care professionals, those who are distinct from the medical, dental and nursing. As the name implies, they are allies in the healthcare team, working together to deliver high quality patient care services.
The Paramedical Sciences basically deals with the applications and practice of different medically related subjects like:
- Medical Imaging Technology (MIT)
- Medical Lab Technology (MLT)
- Optometry
- Perfusion Technology
- Renal Dialysis
- Anaesthesiology
- Health Inspector
- Medical Records Technology
Courses available in Paramedical Sciences
Paramedical science is a broad spectrum with a number of different types of courses available. The field is as vast as the medical field and continues to grow along with the medical field.
Some of the important courses under paramedical sciences are:
- Diploma in Perfusion Technology
- Diploma in Anaesthesia and operation theatre technology
- Diploma in Medical Imaging Technology (MIT)
- Diploma in Renal Dialysis
- Diploma in Optometry
- Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT)
- Diploma in Health Inspector
- Diploma in Medical records technology
Diploma in Perfusion Technology: The perfusion technologists prepare and operate heart-lung machines and other sophisticated equipment as directed by the physicians during operations and critical situations. The students are required to perform multiple tasks on the patients and generate the reports of heart and lungs of the patients during surgeries. They are required to measure the blood pressure and many other vital parameters that are very crucial for the life of the patients whenever necessary.
Diploma in Anaesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology: The diploma in Anaesthesia and operation theatre technology course is opted by the students who are interested to learn about anaesthesia along with operation theatre techniques. The course equips the students with the techniques involved in anaesthesia administration, types of anaesthesia agents and also ensures them to closely monitor the patients under anaesthesia influence. The course helps the students to gain in-depth knowledge of operation theatre hygiene, handling of operation theatre equipment and other pre-surgical and post-surgical procedures.
