Master of Dialysis Therapy at MCHP

Manipal

Step into advanced renal care and shape safer, smarter dialysis practice

The Master of Dialysis Therapy (M.DT) is a two-year postgraduate course that trains you for specialised clinical work in dialysis and extracorporeal renal therapies. You study modern renal replacement methods, patient monitoring, and kidney transplantation counselling, with a strong grounding in evidence-based clinical choices and safety.

Across four semesters, you learn in NABH-accredited hospital settings and dedicated renal therapy labs. You work with experienced clinicians and PhD-qualified faculty, build research capability through a dissertation, and graduate ready to support complex renal care teams in high-acuity environments.

Program Highlights

Extensive Clinical Training: You train in clinical postings linked to hospitals that carry out over 2,300 dialysis procedures each month, giving sustained exposure to real patient care.

Advanced Renal Therapy Coverage: You study CRRT, plasmapheresis, hemadsorption, haemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis, going beyond routine dialysis practice.

Kidney Transplant Counselling Skills: You learn counselling methods for transplantation, vascular access, supportive care, and rehabilitation through elective modules.

Dissertation-Based Research Track: You complete a guided dissertation with structured support in study design, data handling, and academic writing, with scope for journal publication.

Career-Ready Orientation: You prepare for roles across hospitals, academia, research, and renal care services, aligned with rising demand due to kidney disease trends.
