B. VOC IN DIALYSIS

Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) in Dialysis Technology – Three-Year Degree Program

Dialysis Technology is a specialized branch within the field of nephrology, focusing on the treatment of patients with kidney failure. Dialysis technicians play a crucial role in supporting such patients by operating and maintaining dialysis machines, which remove metabolic waste and excess fluids from the blood through hemodialysis.

Program Highlights

Dialysis is a medical procedure that performs the vital functions of the kidneys when they are unable to do so. It involves the removal of waste products (via diffusion) and excess fluids (via ultrafiltration) from the bloodstream. Individuals with damaged or non-functional kidneys rely on dialysis to maintain their health.

The three-year B.Voc program in Dialysis Technology equips students with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training. The curriculum includes:

• Fundamentals of dialysis and principles of dialysis procedures

• Basic medical sciences related to kidney function

• Fluid and electrolyte balance

• Hematology and infectious diseases

• Dialysis equipment and systems operation

• Vascular access techniques

• Blood chemistry and complications of renal failure

• Psychosocial aspects of patient care

• Introduction to peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation

Students will gain practical skills in operating, inspecting, and maintaining dialysis machines. In addition to technical training, the program covers essential medical subjects such as human anatomy, physiology, renal pathology, and associated systemic conditions.
