Cardiovascular Technology
Occupational description
The cardiovascular technologist performs diagnostic examinations and therapeutic interventions of the heart and/or blood vessels at the request or direction of a physician in one or more of the following:
Invasive cardiology-Cardiac Catheterization
Noninvasive cardiology-Echocardiography
Noninvasive peripheral vascular study-Vascular Ultrasound
Cardiac electrophysiology
Through subjective sampling and/or recording, the technologist creates an easily definable foundation of data from which a correct anatomic and physiologic diagnosis may be established for each patient.
Job description
The cardiovascular technologist is qualified by specific didactic, laboratory, and clinical technological education to perform various cardiovascular/peripheral vascular diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The role of the cardiovascular technologist may include but is not limited to (1) reviewing and/or recording pertinent patient history and supporting clinical data; (2) performing appropriate clinical procedures and obtaining a record of anatomical, pathological, and/or physiological data for interpretation by a physician; (3) exercising discretion and judgment in the performance of cardiovascular diagnostic and therapeutic services; and (4) participating in interventional cardiovascular catheterization and/or cardiac electrophysiology procedures, including balloon angioplasty, stent insertion, radiofrequency ablation, and pacemaker and/or implantable defibrillator insertion.
Employment characteristics
Cardiovascular technologists may provide their services to patients in any medical setting under the supervision of a doctor of medicine or osteopathy (MD or DO). The procedures performed by the cardiovascular technologist may be found in, but are not limited to, one of the following general settings: (1) invasive cardiovascular laboratories, including cardiac catheterization, blood gas, and electrophysiology laboratories; (2) noninvasive cardiovascular laboratories, including echocardiography, exercise stress test, and electrocardiography laboratories; and (3) noninvasive peripheral vascular studies laboratories, including Doppler ultrasound, thermography, and plethysmography laboratories.
Educational programs
Length. Programs may be from 1 to 4 years, depending on student qualifications and number of areas of diagnostic evaluation selected: invasive cardiology, noninvasive cardiology, or noninvasive peripheral vascular study.
Prerequisites. High school diploma or equivalent or qualifications in a clinically related allied health profession.
Curriculum. Curricula of accredited programs include didactic instruction, formal laboratory experiences, and patient-based clinical instruction. Suggested areas of instruction in the core curriculum include an introduction to the field of cardiovascular technology, general and/or applied sciences, human anatomy and physiology, basic pharmacology, and basic medical electronics and medical instrumentation. Emphasis, following the core curriculum, is given in the specialty area(s) selected: invasive cardiology, noninvasive cardiology, and noninvasive peripheral vascular study. Both didactic instruction and clinical experiences are provided in these areas.

Mình cũng đợi xem có ai đã đi qua nghề này để học hỏi thêm kinh nghiệm cuộc sống của người Việt ở Mỹ.
Sinh ngữ là vấn đề quan trọng lắm đối với dân nhập cư khi vào Mỹ, bạn ở dưới 5 năm và bạn đã học hết high school ở xứ khác thì rất khó khăn khi tiếp cận với học sinh cùng học nghề do không đủ từ ngữ để giao tiếp. Project mình làm chung với 1 học sinh Mỹ về 1 con robot (môn học chung về engineering computation), nói thật nhiều khi mình nói nó không hiểu, nó nói mình hiểu nhiều nhất là 60% !!! đau lòng với chuyện này lắm bạn ơi. Đó là lý do tại sao nhiều ngành chuyên biệt không có người hỗ trợ, dân nhập cư qua đâu phải ai cũng chịu sống vài năm đi học được.
Tuy nhiên hãy đợi xem có ai đã biết nghề này đi qua forum giúp thêm thông tin cho bạn.
