An Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist is a highly specialized and knowledgeable healthcare professional who is educated and trained to perform invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures under the direction of the physician to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with cardiac disease. The Invasive Cardiovascular Technologist requires specialized technical skills, critical thinking and problem-solving ability as well as medical knowledge including anatomy, physiology, an d pathophysiology to render quality patient care; must be able to correlate related patient data, apply physics principles in order to obtain optimal images for rendering a diagnosis, and develop differential diagnoses based on patient history and examination findings. The curriculum uses didactic, laboratory, and clinical instruction to achieve its goal of preparing students to care for cardiac patients. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. This program requires the student to complete a Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance and/or State Police Criminal Record Check prior to enrollment, prior to the start of a clinical experience, prior to testing and/or obtaining employment. The student should consider this factor before enrolling in this program.
