Bachelor of Science in Operation Theatre Technology

With the rapid advancement of health care technologies, anesthetist and surgeons are utilizing a variety of electrical and electronic equipment, such as anesthesia machines, endoscopic equipment, etc. for monitoring anesthesia and surgical procedures. The successful patient outcome largely depend on the reliable and smooth performance of these equipment and skilled technologist to operate them. Therefore, operation theatre (OT) technologists are integral part of the operation theatre team in hospitals and operation theatre facilitates for preparing the equipment that are necessary for any surgical procedures. They also manage the patients in and out of operation theatre, look after all the surgical equipment, arrangement of operation theatre table, dressing table, anesthesia table as well as management of the staff.

Keeping in view the demand of skilled operation theatre technologists, The BS Operation Theatre Technology program is launched by the university. The aim of this 4-year degree program is to equip students with relevant professional knowledge, skills, techniques and ethical values. The curriculum is outcome based and focuses on the required theoretical concepts and practical skills in the domain. By undergoing this program, students develop critical, analytical thinking and problem solving abilities for a smooth transition from academic to real-life work environment.
