Cardiovascular Technology
A.A.S. Degree (Career) Howard Community College Degree
Mid-Maryland Allied Healthcare Education Consortium
Prepares students to enter the allied health career field of cardiovascular technology
to gather data and perform various cardiac and/or vascular diagnostic tests and
procedures under the direction of a physician. The invasive technologist may be
found in cardiac catheterization, blood gas, and electrophysiology laboratories.
Working in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, operating area, and/or
electrophysiology, the technologist utilizes x-ray and monitoring equipment in
performing invasive diagnostic tests to determine the condition of the patient’s
heart. New therapeutic steps may be taken to treat an existing condition during the
catheterization procedure. The program is accredited by the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Graduates may apply to take the
national certification examination to become a registered cardiovascular invasive
specialist (RCIS).
This program is offered to Frederick Community College students through the
Mid-Maryland Allied Healthcare Education Consortium. Students will typically
complete most of the general education classes at Frederick Community College
and then matriculate to Howard Community College to complete the Cardiovascular
Technology courses. Students participating in consortium programs pay in-county
rates at the institutions to which they matriculate. Contact Robin A. Becker-Cornblatt,
assistant director of admissions, nursing and allied health programs at Howard
Community College, 410.772.4137 or for information.
