  quips students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience necessary to become proficient and compassionate echocardiography technologists, contributing to the early detection and management of cardiovascular diseases through non-invasive imaging techniques.
The curriculum of a B.Sc. Echotech program typically includes courses in cardiac anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, ultrasound physics, echocardiographic techniques, and cardiovascular pharmacology. Students also learn about patient care, medical ethics, quality assurance, and regulatory standards in echocardiography.
Hands-on training is an essential component of B.Sc. Echotech programs, with students gaining practical experience in performing echocardiographic exams and interpreting images through supervised clinical rotations in hospitals or cardiac imaging centers. During these rotations, students learn to operate echocardiography equipment, acquire high-quality images of the heart, and collaborate with cardiologists and other healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Career opportunities for B.Sc. Echotech graduates include working in hospitals, cardiac clinics, imaging centers, or private cardiology practices. They may specialize in areas such as adult echocardiography, pediatric echocardiography, stress echocardiography, or transesophageal echocardiography, depending on their interests and career goals.
