PG DIPLOMA/ DIPLOMA PROGRAMMES
PG Diploma in Cardiac Laboratory Technology

The rapid advances in science and technology have transformed cardiac medical
practice from purely clinical to laboratory-oriented cardiology. This has resulted in
newer investigative techniques and procedures both for diagnostic and therapeutic
purposes. There is a need for training people as more hospitals strive to update the
practice of cardiology. The training programme will cater to the needs of those
technical personnel who will be in increasing demand in the years to come. The
trainees will be attached to the Departments of Cardiology and Clinical Engineering.
PG Diploma in Neuro Technology
The advent of sophisticated electronic equipment and computers has made
neurophysiology a fast developing clinical specialty. Simultaneously, the need for
well-trained technicians to maintain and use these machines has become a
necessity. A highly developed epilepsy programme offers hand on experience in
video-EEG monitoring, intraoperative electro-cortocography and stimulation and
brain mapping. The trainees will be attached to the Departments of Neurology and
Clinical Engineering.
PG Diploma in Medical Records Science
Health care records are maintained to pursue the clinical, academic, administrative
and legal requirements of the hospital. Medical record is a confidential document
and it is a product of privileged communication between patient and health care
providers.
This academic programme is designed to train candidates potentially to organize
and maintain a Manual/Electronic Medical Records Department. The trainees will be
attached to the Medical Records Department and sections of Hospital
Administration.
PG Diploma in Clinical Perfusion
This course is designed to train the candidate to become a Perfusionist who is a
blood circulation specialist with a unique role in the field of cardiac surgery. Cardiac
and pulmonary circulation are temporarily bypassed to facilitate a bloodless field,
14
whereby the surgeon can perform the necessary repair inside the heart.
A Perfusionist manages the Heart Lung Machine equipment through which venous
blood from the patient is diverted, oxygenated and infused back to the patient.
Mechanical action of heart is temporarily stopped. The Perfusionist is also
responsible for hypothermia, total circulatory arrest etc. The patient is warmed back
and weaned off the Heart Lung Machine. Student Perfusionist is required to work in
the operation theatre and has to follow aseptic techniques. He/She will be given
clinical and theoretical training in the set up and operation of Heart Lung Machine,
perfusion management, support devices such as Intra Aortic Balloon Pump etc. The
trainees will be attached to the Departments of CVTS.
PG Diploma in Blood Banking Technology
Rapid advances in technology have revolutionized blood transfusion services and
enhanced our knowledge in Transfusion Medicine. This has necessitated thorough
selection of donors for donor and recipient safety during blood donation, extensive
serological and immunohaematological techniques, infectious disease screening,
processing of blood into components for optimal usage and proper storage of blood
and components. During the training period students will have ample hands on
experience under expert guidance and supervision. There is growing need in the
State for training in this specialty owing to acute shortage of trained personnel.
During the training programme, the student will have enough opportunity to be
familiar with state-of-the-art equipment and access to computer and library facilities.
Training is designed to equip students to meet increased demand for qualified
personnel in blood banks. The trainees will be attached to the Department of
Transfusion Medicine and Section of Hospital Administration.
Diploma in Operation Theatre Technology
A variety of electrical and electronic equipments are in use in modern operation
theatres for monitoring anaesthesia and for surgical purposes. The safety of patients
depends largely on the reliable and smooth functioning of these equipments. The
course is designed to train candidates in the operation and maintenance of theatre
equipment and hospital pipeline systems. The trainees will be attached to the
Department of Anaesthesia and Clinical Engineering.
Diploma in Advanced Medical Imaging Technology

Medical Imaging Techniques have advanced tremendously in the last decade and
have found widespread use in diagnostic applications. However, the paucity of wellqualified technical personnel has always been a problem in exploiting the full
potential of these techniques. The Department of Imaging Sciences & Interventional
Radiology at this Institute is one of the best-equipped departments of its kind in the
country.
15
Apart from conventional radiological facilities for outpatient radiography,

tomography, myeleography and so on, CT Scan and Digital Subtraction
Angiography (DSA) units are functioning for the last several years. A state-of-the-art
Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit and a PACS system are also functional. The
trainees will be attached to the Departments of Imaging Sciences and Interventional
Radiology and Clinical Engineering.
Advanced Certificate Programmes in Physiotherapy

With the health sector fast expanding, graduates in Physiotherapy with quality
training are in great need. The SCTIMST holds unmatched resources in neurological
and cardiovascular sciences. This includes our highly trained and competent human
resources, equipment and technology, and commitment to high quality professional
work. The Institute now offers two academic programmes leading to Advanced
Certificates through its Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR).

M.Tech. (Clinical Engineering)
2.
Ph.D. (Biomedical Devices and Technology)
Introduction
Over the last five decades, healthcare delivery has increasingly become technology
driven - be it diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients in the hospitals, or
the development of new drugs, vaccines and medical devices. Today India imports
almost 80% of the implants and devices used in our country. As a result, healthcare
costs are high and continue to increase. In order to address this issue, a twofold
strategy is needed. Firstly, it is required to set up the infrastructure and have trained
human resources for indigenous technology development. Secondly, it is necessary
to develop human resources for ensuring efficient and effective utilization of the
technology at the healthcare delivery points - i.e., mainly in the hospitals.
The three institutions - IIT Madras, CMC, Vellore, and SCTIMST, Trivandrum, each
having a set of unique strengths and facilities, have joined together in starting two
programmes - M.Tech in Clinical Engineering and Ph.D. in Biomedical Devices &
Technology to address the issue of capacity building for reducing Indias
dependence on imports of medical devices. A unique feature of these courses is the
clinical attachment with a maximum exposure to the clinical environment. This
ensures that, at the end of the course, the students will be able to interact effectively
with the clinicians, and other medical and paramedical staff in the hospital resulting
in the identification unmet clinical needs. This is also expected to trigger further
research leading to development of innovative indigenous healthcare technology.

Ph.D. in Bioengineering
Master of Science Bioengineering and

Ph.D. in Bioengineering
The aim of these two degree programmes is to train engineering graduates to work
in a medical institution to conduct research and development that will directly lead to
improved healthcare in India.
The Department of Bioengineering at CMC, Vellore, works closely with several other
departments in the institute and current work ranges across physiological
measurement, systems modeling, prostheses design, biomedical analysis, and
biomedical signal processing.
Lecture and seminar based courses on Instrumentation, imaging systems,
physiological systems, signal processing etc form part the basic training. Both the
MS Bioengineering and Ph.D. in Bioengineering are specialized engineering
programmes with emphasis on research. MS candidates will undertake a research
project of one year duration, while Ph.D. candidates will undertake a substantially
larger research problem. Students will interact closely with at least one of the
clinical or basic science departments to formulate a research question.
These degrees equip individuals to apply quantitative and engineering methods to
solve healthcare problems. Career prospects include academic research and
teaching careers as well as R&D in the medical devices industry.
