The pedagogical approach for the B.Sc. Anesthesia and Operation Theater Technology (B.Sc. AT & OT) program at Dr. M.V. Shetty Institute of Allied Health Sciences is thoughtfully structured to provide students with a robust academic foundation and practical exposure essential for excelling in perioperative and critical care environments.
Key elements of our pedagogy for B.Sc. AT & OT include:
Comprehensive Theoretical Instruction: Students gain in-depth knowledge through a well-rounded curriculum covering subjects such as anesthesia techniques, pharmacology, operation theater procedures, surgical instrumentation, and patient monitoring. This equips them with the critical theoretical background required to function effectively in high-pressure clinical settings.
State-of-the-Art Laboratory Facilities: The program offers access to modern operation theater simulation labs and equipment that mirror real-world surgical environments. This allows students to familiarize themselves with anesthesia workstations, sterilization procedures, patient positioning, and OT protocols in a controlled and guided setting.
Hands-On Clinical Training: Emphasis is placed on hands-on learning, with students actively involved in pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative procedures. Regular practical sessions build confidence and technical proficiency in areas such as assisting in anesthesia administration, managing surgical instruments, and supporting surgical teams.
Clinical Internship: As part of the curriculum, students undertake a clinical internship at reputed hospitals and surgical centers. This immersive experience bridges academic learning with real-world application, offering exposure to live surgeries, emergency responses, and teamwork in operation theaters.
Interdisciplinary Exposure: Students interact with professionals and peers from various allied health departments including nursing, radiology, and physiotherapy. This interdisciplinary exposure fosters a team-based approach to patient care, enhancing communication and collaboration skills.
Continuous Assessment and Feedback:Student progress is evaluated through periodic assessments, practical exams, and skill-based evaluations. Constructive feedback and mentorship ensure ongoing academic and clinical growth throughout the course.
Research Opportunities: The institute encourages critical thinking and research in the field of anesthesia and surgical technology. Students are provided opportunities to participate in academic projects, case studies, and seminars to broaden their analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Our pedagogy is designed to nurture competent, compassionate, and job-ready professionals who can seamlessly integrate into surgical and critical care teams, making meaningful contributions to modern healthcare delivery.
