B.Voc in Patient Care Management is a 3-year skill-based undergraduate program designed to train students in providing direct and indirect care to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and home healthcare settings. The course focuses on developing both medical and interpersonal skills required to support doctors, nurses, and healthcare teams in managing patient needs. It teaches students how to assist with daily patient care activities, monitor vital signs, maintain hygiene, and communicate effectively with patients and their families. This course is ideal for those who want to build a respectful and service-oriented career in the healthcare industry, especially in patient support roles.
This 3-year course is divided into six semesters and covers both theoretical subjects and practical clinical training. Students learn about human anatomy, basic nursing procedures, first aid, infection control, hygiene maintenance, and patient mobility techniques. The curriculum also includes modules on soft skills, emotional support, hospital ethics, and care for elderly, disabled, or post-operative patients. Students are trained to work in general wards, ICUs, and home-care environments, performing tasks like bed-making, feeding, patient shifting, and health documentation. Regular clinical postings in hospitals help them gain real-world experience and boost their confidence in managing patient care responsibilities.
The examination system includes theory exams, practical evaluations, internal assessments, and clinical performance. Written exams test students in subjects such as anatomy, basic nursing, patient care procedures, and infection prevention. Practical exams involve demonstrations of bed care, patient positioning, vital sign monitoring, and emergency response. Internal assessments include class participation, clinical discipline, attendance, assignments, and viva voce. During internships, student performance is evaluated through observation and logbooks. Final year students may be required to submit a project or case study on real patient care scenarios. This exam structure ensures students are competent in both technical and emotional aspects of patient care.
The syllabus blends medical science with human care practices. It is designed to make students professionally skilled and emotionally equipped to serve patients with compassion, discipline, and clinical knowledge.
