Cardiology

The field of Physician Assistant (PA) is relatively new in India, and specialised M.Sc programs like M.Sc in Physician Assistant with a focus on Cardiovascular and Thoracic Science might be limited. However, some institutions do offer M.Sc programs in Physician Assistant or related fields. Keep in mind that programme offerings can change, so it's important to verify the most current information from the respective institutions.

Here are a few institutions that were known to offer M.Sc Physician Assistant programs as of my last update. Please verify the current status and programme details:

1. *Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, Karnataka*: MAHE offers an M.Sc Physician Assistant program. While it might not have a specific specialisation in cardiovascular and thoracic science, you might find relevant coursework or specialisation options within the program.

2. *Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu*: Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers an M.Sc Physician Assistant program. Similar to the previous option, you might explore related areas within the program.

3. *SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu*: SRM offers an M.Sc Physician Assistant program.

Remember, the availability of specialised programs can vary, and it's recommended to directly visit the official websites of these institutions to check if they offer a specialisation in cardiovascular and thoracic Science within their M.Sc Physician Assistant programs. Additionally, you might consider looking into related fields such as Cardiology or Cardiovascular Sciences for potential master's programs with a focus on the heart and thoracic aspects.
