Cardiovascular Technology

Academic excellence through student-centered learning in a creative, supportive environment. 


CVT Program Update

The Grossmont College Cardiovascular Technology (CVT) Program is nationally accredited by CAAHEP.

The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Under Standard, colleges are not able to graduate students with certificates.  Students must instead graduate with the minimum of an associate’s degree.

The post-secondary academic institution must ensure that all graduates have obtained or will obtain a minimum of an associate degree upon completion of the cardiovascular technology program/concentration(s).

The 2010 Standards go into effect on July 1, 2013.

 Effective with the seating of the Fall 2012 class (The Class of 2014), anyone entering the CVT Program must be able to graduate in June 2014, with an Associate’s in Science degree from Grossmont College, or enter the Program with an Associate’s Degree or higher from any institution.

Attention All Health Profession Students

Please be aware that students accepted to the Health Professions Programs (Nursing, RT, CVT, SLPA, OTA) at Grossmont College are required to undergo a background check and a urine drug screening test before starting the program or being placed at a clinical site. We expect the cost of these procedures may be $70 - $120. The student will be responsible for paying these fees.

It should be noted that failure to pass either or both of these procedures may interfere with clinical placement and / or acceptance of the student into his / her selected program.

TEAS-Test of Essential Academic Skills
Cardiovascular Technology Program Pre-Entrance Exam

Effective Spring 2010, all Cardiovascular Technology Students must pass the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS).  This is a diagnostic test that covers basic Math, Reading, and Science.
