In order to enroll in these programs, students are required to have a high school level education, preferably with healthcare experience and a background in math and science.
India is now focusing its attention towards lifestyle diseases. Consequently a strong felt need has arisen for the availability of trained cardiac care technicians to be in place to reduce morbidity and mortality in the community.
