<p>By Petty Officer 1st Class (FMF/CAC) Aldrin Augustus, Cardiovascular Instructor and Navy Service Lead, Cardiovascular Technician Program, Medical Education and Training Campus<br><br>As a Navy Cardiovascular Technician (CVT) I am one of the most highly specialized, medically trained enlisted professionals in the Navy. The training I deliver at the Medical Education and Training Campus (METC) is one of a kind! In a matter of just 13 months students graduate with the knowledge and skills to function in a specialized field. Our students learn both invasive and noninvasive aspects of cardiology. When compared to our civilian counterparts, theirs are two-year, associate’s degree programs, but their students are only trained on either noninvasive or invasive cardiology. Navy CVTs are trained to do both.<br></p>
