Master of Respiratory Technology (Adult Respiratory Care) at MCHP, Manipal

Manipal

Be the specialist who keeps every breath safe

M.Sc Rt Adult Respiratory Technology (Adult Respiratory Care) is a two-year postgraduate program designed for graduates in respiratory technology seeking in-depth clinical expertise in adult airway and lung care. The master's in respiratory care program builds advanced knowledge of respiratory science and trains you to manage patients across critical and non-critical settings, from emergency care to long-term respiratory support.

You learn through simulation-driven skill training and sustained clinical postings in real hospital environments. Alongside clinical decision-making, you develop into a research-aware clinician who can critically evaluate evidence, apply it to patient care, and contribute to improved respiratory outcomes in modern healthcare.

Program Highlights

Specialist Adult Respiratory Pathway: You train specifically for adult airway, ventilation, and pulmonary care across varied case profiles.

Simulation-Led Skill Training: You practice high-risk procedures in simulation and skill labs before moving to clinical settings.

Intensive Clinical Exposure: You spend extended time in ICUs, emergency and trauma units, and ward care to build confidence in real cases.

Evidence-Driven Learning: You study research methods and evidence-based clinical practice to guide patient decisions.

Industry and Hospital Linkages: Strong industry–academia partnerships for placement support and recruitment.

Pre-clinical and Para-clinical Access: You gain early lab exposure that supports strong clinical reasoning.

Lab Work

Respiratory skill labs, simulation labs, and pre-/para-clinical areas to refine procedures, monitoring, and ventilator care.

Industry Project

Gain research experience through lab and experimental work, practical training, and a dissertation in respiratory care and patient management.
