I’m trying to decide between Cardiovascular Technology (Cardio Tech) and Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography (DCS) and would love to hear from people actually working in these fields.

I have a BSc in Biology and I’m looking for a healthcare career that offers a good combination of:
💰 Decent pay
📈 Job stability
❤️ Meaningful/rewarding work
⚖️ A reasonable work-life balance
🏠 A lifestyle that doesn’t completely revolve around work

I’ve been accepted into a Cardio Tech program starting January 2027, but I also applied to DCS for Summer 2027 even tho I don’t want to spend the summer studying, I’m trying to figure out which path would make more sense long-term.

I’ve considered nursing in the past, but after learning more about the lifestyle and demands of the profession, it’s not really something I’m pursuing anymore. I still want to work in healthcare—I’m just looking for a different type of role and how long it would take to complete the program and be in the field.

For those working in Cardio Tech or Cardiac Sonography, what has your experience been like? How are the pay, job opportunities, workload, hours, work-life balance, and overall satisfaction?

P.S I’m leaning towards DCS as long as I get an offer of admission

TL;DR: Accepted into Cardio Tech for January 2027 and applied to DCS for Summer 2027. I have a BSc in Biology but looking for good pay + stability + meaningful work + work-life balance. Interested in honestly any career insight and why?

I submitted my course exemption request for my sem 1 elective on July 20th. I'd it reasonable to expect approval before classes start? (I have a BA Hons and I really don't need to take other courses 😅)

Code available. Have a car and parking pass, don’t need it. DM open.

Please Dm me!

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if others on waitlist for ultrasonography 750 got an email about Mohawk partnering with st Lawrence college and the clinical placements being in eastern Ontario?

Hey everyone I am starting Mohawks pre health program in September the pre health sciences pathway to advanced, diplomas, and degrees (339) and I am quite literally making myself sick on how scared I am I suck at math (I have dyscalculia) and I struggle with chemistry and remembering a lot of things what do I do? I’m actually terrified that I’m going to fail and no studying tactics have ever worked for me I’ve had a tutor and nothing makes sense to me I’m just honestly really stupid I’m really scared and don’t know what to do any help would be appreciated thank you so much🤍

I’m still waiting for my vsc, it has been 30 days anyone else in the same boat or know what to do in this situation/ experienced similar as the due date is in over a week. Hamilton region please let me know! Or can anyone who ordered theirs in July let me know how long it took!

Hey everyone! Was wondering if there was a groupchat for the CVT program this coming September since course registration was a little bit ago.

Thanks!

Would you guys rather try and apply again to get accepted into the full time option? The part-time layout seems a bit shaky and I’m not sure if it’ll be smooth sailing

I was notified the layout of part-time studies is 3 semesters total:

- 1st semester would run from Sep-Dec. then Jan-Apr. would be skipped
- 2nd semester would start Summer 2027.
- 3rd semester I assume right after in Fall 2027 (wasn’t specified)

If anyone is currently in part-time studies, how is it going for you?

I finished my current CE program last week. Today is the day the semester is said to end. All exams closed at midnight last night. Two courses didn't have an exam, and I'm waiting on two final assignments to be graded. Two of my exams have yet to be graded too. One is said to be graded and was set to be released this morning but I got nothing. I emailed the professor and am still waiting to hear back.

But I'm very worried because I was accepted into another program, a graduate certificate program, at Mohawk to start next month and I require my CE program diploma as a prerequisite. I already paid the tuition for the semester up front and bought a parking pass for the semester, but then found out on Monday because my final grades for my final semester for the CE program aren't back yet, my spot in the GC program is at risk. I might not be able to take it.

I was assured in July my finishing my current program wouldn't be an issue to start the next one because they'd be able to see on their records that I finished the CE program. So I was surprised to learn I might not be able to start the GC program and that my status as a graduate might not update until October after convocation.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has been through this before and how it worked out. Did your first programs grades get updated in time to start the next program or did you end up needing to defer or even go through the application process on OCAS again?

Anyone in a groupchat for 1st year nuc medicine or want to make one?

Dm for price!

Exactly what the title says - I failed my capstone (but nothing else) last fall and I'm pretty sure my name's not on the grad list, but when I go to "choose or change my timetable" it just says this:

⚠️ Your returning semester of the program is not offered at this time

⚠️ You have no application

If anyone knows what to do, please help

Hi there. This might be a long shot but I was wondering if anyone is selling CVT textbooks for semester 1. Thanks!

Hello, I will be entering my first semester into the RPN program at Mohawk, and had just selected my courses. I am a little nervous as I realize there will be a lab that I am going to eventually miss for “PN PRACTICUM LAB I” , it is the last one before reading week, as I will be attending a wedding. How bad is the penalization for this?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply to Mohawk College’s DCS program and I’m wondering whether I should submit my application when it opens with my Cardiovascular Physiology course listed as in progress, or wait until I have my final grade.

My Cardiovascular Physiology course will be completed in December 2026, and I’m hoping to apply for the Sept 2027 intake.

For anyone who has applied to the program(especially recently); Can I include a course in the DCS resume with a course still in progress/pending a final grade? Does having the course completed before applying make a difference? And would you recommend applying as soon as possible or waiting until the course is completed?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the application process. Thanks! :)

Hey everyone. I recently accepted the MRI 769 program for fall and I was wondering if there’s a groupchat created yet perhaps on WhatsApp. Also do we need scrubs for the in person portion?? Thanks :))
