The academic syllabus at OSPMI is structured in strict alignment with national paramedical council standards, blending comprehensive classroom theory with supervised hospital clinical benchwork.
Year 1: Renal Anatomy, Physiology & Foundations of Dialysis Science
- Renal Anatomy & Microscopic Histology: Ultrastructure of glomeruli, podocytes, renal tubules, collecting duct systems, and renal vascular network.
- Renal Physiology & Fluid Homeostasis: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), counter-current multiplier system, fluid-electrolyte balance, and acid-base regulation.
- Basics of Hemodialysis Science: Principles of diffusion, ultrafiltration, solute clearance, dialyzer mass transfer area coefficients, and biocompatibility.
- Infection Control & Medical Ethics: Universal precautions, bloodborne pathogen safety, hepatitis B/C segregation protocols in dialysis units.
Year 2: Vascular Access, RO Water Purification & Hemodialysis Operations
- Vascular Access Management: AV fistula creation principles, buttonhole vs rope ladder cannulation, dialysis catheters, and thrombectomy.
- Water Treatment & RO Technology: Designing central RO systems, carbon filters, deionizers, endotoxin filters, and microbial monitoring under AAMI norms.
- Anticoagulation & Drug Dialyzability: Systemic heparinization, low-dose heparin, regional citrate anticoagulation, and pharmacological clearances.
