Cardio vascular Technology consists of three years of clinical faculty supervised theoretic learning and one-year internship programme. The cardio-pulmonary technologist is qualified by specific didactic, laboratory, and clinical technological education to perform and/or assist in various invasive and non-invasive cardiovascular procedures. Upon completion of the 3-year course and one-year internship the candidates will evolve into a full trained, qualified cardiovascular technologist capable of working independently.
The role of the cardiovascular technologists was to review and/or record patient history, performing appropriate clinical procedures of cardiovascular diagnostic and therapeutic services and also participating in interventional cardiovascular catheterization and/or cardiac electrophysiology procedures.
Cardiovascular technologists may provide their services to patients in any medical setting under the supervision of a doctor. The job opportunities for cardiovascular technologist were available in invasive cardiovascular catheterization laboratories, cardiac electrophysiology labs, non-invasive cardiovascular laboratories, including adult and pediatric echocardiography laboratories etc.

Medical laboratory technology deals with all the clinical laboratory investigations on various samples for laboratory diagnosis of different disease conditions. Presently, the practice of modern medicine would be near impossible without the tests performed in the laboratory.
A medical laboratory professional (also referred to as a Medical Laboratory Technologist, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist or Clinical Laboratory Technologist) is a healthcare professional who performs chemical, hematological, immunologic, microscopic and microbiological diagnostic analyses on body fluids, as well as other specimens.
Medical laboratory scientists work in clinical laboratories at hospitals, reference laboratories, biotechnology laboratories and non-clinical industrial labs.
Medical laboratory professionals have unlimited choices of practice settings. Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, public health facilities, and commercial laboratories all have positions open for qualified laboratory professionals.

Perfusion Technology are health professionals who are trained to operate, maintain, and record the output of a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine which is also known as a heart-lung machine. Perfusionists also participate in heart surgeries as well as cardiac transplants, cardiovascular surgeries, and specialized chemotherapy procedures. They are also experts of other life support equipment such as ventricular assist devices, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pumps. The personnel who carry out these responsibilities also must have adequate knowledge of structure and function of the human body, especially the cardiovascular system. The graduate program in cardiovascular perfusion technology consists of three years of supervised theoretic learning and one-year internship programme. Upon completion of the program the candidates will evolve into a fully trained, qualified cardiovascular perfusion technologist capable of working independently.
