Invasive Cardiovascular Technology

Mission Statement
The faculty and staff of the Bachelor of Science in Invasive Cardiovascular Technology strive to provide educational opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes conductive to the challenges within the advanced fields of radiology. The over-all mission is to provide men and women with quality training for careers as advanced radiology health care professionals. In addition the Program provides appropriate educational experiences that encompass academic standards that reflect cognitive, physical and behavioral abilities that are necessary in preparing graduates for career success. The Program provides many opportunities for working in small groups with other healthcare professionals. These group communications and activities give the student chances to share their own experiences and learn from the experiences of others. Within the stimulating college environment, the student will be afforded the opportunity to achieve educational and personal growth goals while developing the technical skills necessary for success as cardiovascular professional.



Program Goals
The aims of the Bachelor of Science in Invasive Cardiovascular Technology Program are to develop a graduate who is able to:

• Function as a competent entry-level invasive cardiovascular technologist in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills) and affective (behavior) learning domains of invasive cardiology.
• Demonstrate proficiency in all aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
• Develop an understanding of the biological effects of radiation on humans and utilize the appropriate radiation protection equipment, measures, and recording instruments for specific invasive cardiovascular and vascular procedures.
• Develop the skills and/or the proper handling and processing of digital recording materials.
• Demonstrate knowledge of the composition and appropriate utilization of radiographic contrast media and cardiology medicines.
• Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the pathological process and the common pathology demonstrated by cardiovascular procedures and imaging.
