The MechVent Course’ – Speciality Certificate Course on Mechanical Ventilation in Intensive Care (July 2026 Batch – Seats limited)
The MechVent Course is a structured, six-month training programme on mechanical ventilation in intensive care, designed for doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and paramedics. It covers the complete spectrum of the subject — from the fundamentals through to advanced mechanical ventilation.
Classes are conducted as live sessions on Google Meet, usually on alternate Thursdays at around 9:30 pm IST, each lasting approximately two to four hours depending on the topic. Recordings of every live session remain available for review until the exit examination, so candidates can revisit any topic at their own pace.
At the end of the course, candidates sit an online exit examination. On passing, they are awarded a Certificate of Completion.
