Students are provided patient - care environment with meaningful communications and problem-solving skills.  Our students are trained on different image planning and Radiotherapy equipment – CT simulation, mould room, and Radiotherapy delivery procedures/techniques by mega voltage machines like linear accelerators dual energy for conventional/3DCRT/IMRT and Brachytherapy for cancer treatment. They are also trained in quality assurance procedures and networking of Radiotherapy images.

Experienced faculty teach and mentor students in therapy and research related programmes.

B.Sc. Medical Technology (Operation Theatre)

B.Sc. in Medical Operation Theatre Technology (BOT) is an allied medical programme designed to create a health care professional trained to assist in the administration and monitoring of anaesthesia and surgery. It provides students with required technical and interpersonal skills and prepares them for managing patients as well as for monitoring the nuances of an operation theater. We train students in areas of surgical procedures, surgical instruments, anaesthesia equipment & drugs, patient monitoring and OT Ethics.

They learn about prescribing spectacles, contact lenses, low vision devices, etc. They also help Ophthalmologists (eye doctors), learn orthoptics (eye muscle and squint related problems), and handle different instruments like OCT, Fundus camera, Automated visual field analyser, Pachymeter, Keratometer, A scan, B scan, NCT, etc. independently.

Students are taught by trained retina, cornea and paediatric ophthalmologists. On completion, students can either open their own optical centers or can work as optometrists in an eye hospital. They can opt for higher studies like M.Sc., Ph.D in optometry and can take up a career in teaching in optometry schools, or go for fellowships in different branches of eye and become specialists.

Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT)

Physiotherapy (under Orthopaedics) has been in existence in Himalayan Hospital since 1994 as a physical Rehabilitation Department which was later renamed as Physiotherapy, in 1998.

While a diploma in physiotherapy had been on offer since 2003-2005, a Bachelor’s programme was introduced in 2004 and, subsequently, Masters of Physiotherapy was started in various specializations such as, MPT (Ortho), MPT (Neuro), MPT (Cardio pulmonary), and CBR, in the year 2009.

The faculty in the department has vast clinical and academic experience and is further supported by eminent and experienced faculty from Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Biostatistics which provide students the right platform for practical and theoretical learning.

In order to keep up with the latest trends and skills, the department organizes workshops, CMEs & hands on training programmes by experts from both, within the department and, other premier institutes. We have a well-stocked library where students can gain required knowledge by using facilities both from central as well as the departmental library.
