Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultra- filtration) from the blood. Our kidneys do this naturally, however some people may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly. They may need dialysis.

The three-year graduate program provide students with the opportunity to study the principles of Dialysis, basic medical science of the kidney, fluid and electrolyte balance, hematologic aspects, infectious diseases, dialysis systems and equipment, vascular access to circulation, blood chemistry, complications of renal failure, psycho-social aspects and an overview of peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation.

In short, students are trained to operate Dialysis equipment, inspect and maintain it. Other than technical training, subjects like human anatomy and physiology, renal diseases, other relevant diseases, blood chemistry etc. are also covered in this course.

On completion of the course of study and having successfully passed the examination, the candidate would be able to achieve a satisfactory level of efficiency:

• Graduates can expect to be employed in hospitals and private practices as Dialysis Therapists
• A career in research, following the completion of a higher degree such as a Ph.D, is an option chosen by some graduates
• Graduates are eligible for employment overseas where their qualifications, training and experience are highly regarded
