B.Voc – Healthcare Paramedical & Healthcare

A science dealing with the pre-hospital emergency services is called Paramedical science. Major areas where paramedical science comes to play are spinal injury management, obstetrics, management of burns, and evaluation of the general accident. Paramedical science deals with emergency medical care, even before a doctor plays his/ her part. Sometimes, paramedical science is termed as the backbone of medical science as a right diagnosis of any disease is required to prevent fatal diseases. Hence, medical science couldn’t work properly without the help of paramedical science.

In order to avail the medical facilities, people are highly dependent on a qualified technician who can handle the medical equipment that can be useful in the detection of the disease. Paramedical science helps in providing the right training for satisfying the pre-medical requirements of a patient.

With the pandemic spread, we experienced an epiphany that more and more skilled and qualified paramedics are required for strengthening the backbone of the healthcare industry. Employment opportunities for Paramedical Professionals are increasing day by day not only in India but also in foreign countries. Paramedics as we know, lend a helping hand to the doctors to reach an accurate diagnosis of a disease to allow its best possible treatment.

After completing the basic course in any of the paramedical streams, you can take up a job in a Nursing Home, Hospital, Clinics, and Health Departments as well as colleges and universities as lecturers, etc. Besides, you can open your own laboratories/clinics.

The career prospects for paramedical streams are thus varied. And if you wish to make a difference in someone’s life then pursuing a paramedical course to become a paramedic can prove to be a good choice for you. The career and growth opportunities in this industry make it a profitable option.

Major roles/ duties and functions of a paramedic are as follows.

The scope of the paramedical sector in today’s world is immense, as there are plenty of jobs available in the public as well as the private sector. The Healthcare industry is considered to be one of the fastest-growing industries and has a wide scope. Moreover, there is a great need to improve the health sector, something we all learned the hard way because of the unforeseen pandemic situation. The world has come face to face with the ground reality of their own health care infrastructure and the requisites to bridge the gap between availability and the need for skilled and qualified paramedics who can aid specialists in hectic schedules.

The growing population of a developing country like India is witnessing mushrooming of hospitals in every city to cater to its medical needs leading to the dominance of the healthcare sector in the future creating huge opportunities for paramedical professionals in the job markets. The healthcare industry is always in need of skilled and qualified paramedics in India, so once you clear your 12 classes, you can choose the best paramedical institute for your study where you acquire all the skills, build and transform them into a career in the healthcare industry.

Aim of the Program

The rise of molecular biology has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of many different diseases. Molecular diagnostics have become an essential part of investigations required in providing optimal care and has become an important tool for the healthcare provider in making the right decision. It also gives insights into the pathogenesis and prognosis of various diseases. Rapid technological advances have helped to increase the speed and performance of various molecular assays thereby reducing turnaround time, in turn translating to providing better clinical services. With the increase in applications of molecular diagnostics to clinical services, our country has seen a sudden spurt of molecular labs. However, this has highlighted an acute shortage of trained laboratory personnel who can carry out molecular assays in diagnostic mode. To address this issue, we have initiated this program to train individuals who are likely to take up this challenge or who are already involved in molecular work. We hope to conduct this course annually. This will not only help to train personnel in this niche area of diagnostics but will also help to form a network of individuals involved in molecular diagnostics, as the faculty involved in this workshop will continue to interact with the participants and help them to establish molecular diagnostic services at their institution.
