MASTER OF RESPIRATORY TECHNOLOGY (M.RT)

The Master of Respiratory Technology (M.RT) is an advanced postgraduate program designed to develop specialized knowledge and clinical expertise in the field of respiratory care. The program focuses on the comprehensive management of patients with acute and chronic respiratory disorders, integrating advanced diagnostic techniques, therapeutic interventions, and evidence-based clinical practices. It prepares students to handle complex respiratory conditions in critical care, emergency medicine, pulmonary rehabilitation, and sleep medicine settings.

The curriculum combines advanced theoretical learning, clinical training, and research exposure to strengthen the professional competencies of respiratory therapists. Students gain in-depth understanding of areas such as mechanical ventilation, pulmonary function testing, critical care monitoring, advanced airway management, non-invasive ventilation, and cardiopulmonary diagnostics. Emphasis is also placed on clinical decision-making, patient safety, quality improvement, and interdisciplinary collaboration in modern healthcare systems.

Objectives of the Programme

To provide advanced knowledge of respiratory anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology related to acute and chronic pulmonary disorders.
To develop expertise in advanced respiratory care techniques, including mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function testing, and critical care monitoring.
To enhance clinical decision-making skills for the assessment, diagnosis, and management of patients with complex cardiopulmonary conditions.
To train students in the use of advanced respiratory diagnostic and therapeutic equipment used in intensive care units, emergency departments, and pulmonary laboratories.
To promote evidence-based practice and research skills in respiratory care through research methodology, data analysis, and dissertation work.
To develop competencies in pulmonary rehabilitation, patient education, and long-term respiratory care management.
To inculcate leadership, ethical practice, and interdisciplinary teamwork in healthcare settings.
