B.Sc. (Hons) Medical Technology programme

As technology advances and better investigative and treatment options are introduced, the need for professionals equipped to handle newer diagnostic modalities are on the rise. The ever changing & expanding horizon of the health care sector demands formal training programmes like B.Sc. (Hons) Medical Technology and B.Sc. Medical courses in all its allied areas. The diagnostics sector today is witnessing tremendous growth in terms of volume and sophistication. With increasing advances and super specialisation, the scope for tomorrow’s technologists does not remain limited to just routine tests

Advanced complex instrumentation & equipment require technocrats not only to operate but also to care & maintain them as well. These experts have to possess a strong scientific foundation & be able to perform at a much higher level than the traditionally trained technicians of the past. The students thus trained in the technological aspects of medical care with a strong scientific foundation will be in a position to competently assist the Physician or Surgeon, especially in high-tech medical procedures to cater to the healthcare industry globally.

SIHS offers a four-year B.Sc. (Hons) Medical Technology programme with an exit option in the third year.

    TEACHING METHODOLOGY

    The programme includes both theoretical & practical knowledge of the Diagnostic Investigations, Therapeutic procedures and Equipment as applicable to the health care sector today. It introduces students to emerging technologies and their applications. Students spend a considerable part of their learning time in hospital set-ups where they are exposed to actual 'hands on' practical training. Each student works on a project related to his / her specialisation.

    The well-equipped health skill laboratories facility strives to provide high –tech simulated and virtually created hospital set-up for teaching, training and assessment for all health care professionals in clinical and related management skills making SIHS one of the best BSc MLT colleges in Pune. The broad objective is to align with the National Agenda of Skill Development to create a robust and vibrant ecosystem for quality education and skill development in the healthcare sector in the country. This simulation-based training is an integral part of education and training in Medical Technology and helps students to expertise the technical competencies followed by real time “Hands-On” practical training in hospital.

    As part of their curriculum, students are taught additional modules on Management issues relevant to the respective specializations. The students are also trained in soft skills, Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS).

    The Global Immersion Program (GIP), Inter Institute Credit Transfer Program, Liberal Arts & Social Services exposes the students to the external world & helps in the overall development of the student.
    There is emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach towards achieving professional success.

    EVALUATION

    The evaluation will have both internal & external components. The internal component will be continuous throughout the semester & external component will be conducted by the university at the end of the semester. A student would be required to pass in each head (internal and external) independently. Students would be assessed according to the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) system. Students would be awarded the Grade Point Average where grades would be awarded based on the class average. A student would be required to perform consistently well.

    The B.Sc.(Hons) Medical Technology programme will have a total of 120 credits in 3 years. Each credit is defined as 15 hours of teaching (Lecture or Lecture demonstration) or 30 hours of supervised practicals. Each credit is assessed for 25 Marks. For all external courses internal assessment will be of 40% and external assessment will be of 60%. Practicals will be 100% external. Internal courses will be evaluated 100% internally by the institute.

    Satisfactory completion of the letter grade courses 'Integrated Disaster Management' and 'Core Environmental Studies' are mandatory for award of degree. Satisfactory completion of minimum 1-month observer ship with hospital after completion of semester II examination and 3 months of On Job Training with hospital/industry/Research organization after completion of final year (semester VI) examination is mandatory for award of degree.

    STANDARD OF PASSING

    The assessment of the student for each examination is done, based on relative performance. Maximum Grade Point (GP) is 10 corresponding to O (Outstanding). For all courses, a student is required to pass both internal and external examination separately with a minimum Grade Point of 4 corresponding to Grade P. Students securing less than 40% absolute marks in each head of passing will be declared FAIL. The University awards a degree to the student who has achieved a minimum CGPA of 4 out of maximum of 10 CGPA for the program.
