Foreword
With increasing public expectations about the health care services, the quality of care itself is under scrutiny all over the world. Therefore a positive change is needed in the role of Medical Technologists. The role of teachers and students in teaching and learning to bring in positive changes in paramedics and auxiliaries education also needs to be reviewed and further developed.
This revised Health Technology (HT) curriculum has been developed and scientifically designed, making it responsive to the needs of the learners and focussed towards the need of consumers. The present HT curriculum with its assessment methods is expected to effectively judge competencies acquired with those required to cater the health needs of our people. It is gratifying to note that all concerned in the promotion of paramedic health science in the country have involved themselves in the planning and formulation of this need-based HT curriculum.
Contents like basic computer science, communicative English, ethics, communication skills, behavioural science, primary health care, environment and sanitation have been given the required emphasis in this document. Though the curriculum is not the sole determinant of the outcome, yet it is very important as it guides the faculty in preparing their instruction, tells the students where to go, what to do and what knowledge, skills and attitude they are expected to develop.
In conclusion, I would like to state that, the curriculum planning process should be continuous, dynamic and never-ending. If it is to serve best, the needs of the individual students, educational institutions and the expectations of client community to whom we are ultimately accountable, are required to be evaluated and given due attention.
I congratulate all who were involved in designing and developing the curriculum, particularly the Director, Medical Education & HMPD, DGHS, Director, CME, Secretary, SMFB, members of the working group and the faculty members of Centre for Medical Education (CME). I offer my special thanks to RTM International and Swisscontact-KATALYST for their technical and financial support.

Message
Curriculum planning and designing is not a static process, rather a continuous process done regularly through a system. The curriculum was developed a few years back but it was needed to be updated to make it more technology oriented and competency based.
Initially there were four meetings of the Curriculum Working Group of different disciplines from Institute of Health Technologies (IHT) to prepare a draft curriculum. Subsequently, in order to develop a consensus, decision was taken to hold Review Workshops through active participation of different groups of faculty members. A taskforce group examined the revised curriculum for the different courses of IHT to give it a final shape with the financial support by RTM International & Swisscontact-KATALYST.
The revised Curriculum for Health Technology (HT) is expected to be implemented for the newly admitted students of the next session. The success of this curriculum, which is made more competence based and need-based, depends on its proper implementation with active leadership of the teachers and interactive participation of students.
It is expected that this curriculum will serve as present day guideline for the students of IHT and its faculty members. In order to ensure further improvement, this curriculum needs constant review and revision with time to time updating.
My sincere thanks to Dr. Mainuddin Ahmed Chowdhury, Director, Centre for Medical Education (CME) for his supports. The technical team of the Centre for Medical Education (CME) deserves special appreciation.
I like to thank Dr. Md. Humayun Kabir Talukder, Associate Professor, CME, Co-ordinator of Working Group, Member Secretary, HT Curriculum Development Committee for his continuous technical assistance and co-ordination to prepare this curriculum. My special thanks to RTM International and Swisscontact-KATALYST for their technical and financial support.
Lastly, I would like to extend my deep and sincere gratitude to all teachers of different IHT faculty members and others computer and secretarial support staff of CME who shared their expertise and worked hard to produce this valuable document.
