Bachelor of Applied Science PAPERS
775102 Biological Chemistry
775111 Microbiology
775212 Organic Chemistry I
775611 Biophysics
775613 Human Anatomy and Physiology IA
775614 Human Anatomy and Physiology IB
Plus TWO electives from the Bachelor of Applied Science ANAESTHETIC TECHNOLOGY
This programme provides trainee anaesthetic technicians with the theoretical and general practical skills to become registered anaesthetic technicians. ANAESTHETIC TECHNICIAN AND ANAESTHETIC NURSE REGISTRATION
All people working as trainee anaesthetic technicians or nurses must be registered as trainees and employed in an NZATS (New Zealand Anaesthetic Technicians’ Society) recognised training facility. People without registration can complete the theory portion only of the training for an anaesthetic technician or anaesthetic nurse. THE KEY SKILLS YOU WILL ACQUIRE
Graduates will have a sound knowledge of human anatomy and normal physiological functioning, biophysical principles, and theory specific to the role of the anaesthetic technician. Each area will be accompanied by relevant practical experience, including investigation and performance. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Diploma papers provide the theory supporting the practice of anaesthetic technology, and therefore assist students in obtaining anaesthetic technician registration. REQUIRED PAPERS
