Course Description

Echocardiography is a multimodality imaging technique with diverse individual techniques, showing established clinical value and promise in research. The full spectrum of echocardiography involves 2D, Doppler, transesophageal, and contrast echocardiograms. Although few specialists actually perform echocardiography, most have to order or interpret them at some stage.

The primary objective of this session is not only to explain how to carry out echocardiography but also to emphasize its potential, application, and limitations. Comprehensive knowledge and skills in the field of echocardiography play a significant role in clinical decision making and diagnosis of various cardiovascular conditions. Adequate knowledge about echocardiography, its application, and interpretation aids in providing required care in cardiology units and ICUs.

Fellowship course in 2D Echocardiography – Level II is designed to provide necessary knowledge in the basic echocardiography principles, modes, application in various cardiovascular conditions, limitations, and potential. The course comprises of:

  • Video-based learning strategy and easy-to-learn illustrations for effective learning and reading material
  • Virtual learning from simulation modules by Simtics, New Zealand
  • Live Echo demonstrations and hands-on training as a part of the contact program

Optional Simulation Trainings:

  • Hands-on simulation training on Echocardiography
    • Practice and acquire competence in hands-on Transesophageal and Transthoracic Echocardiography training using High-Fidelity Simulation.
  • Click below link to know more about Simulation Training

Eligibility: Physicians (MBBS, MD, and DNB), Cardiology, general medicine, radiology residents, and residents working in cardiology and intensive care units.

Course Validity: 7 months. There will be an extra charge on the extension of the course validity.

FAQs

  • I am an MBBS student. Will this course benefit me?
    • You will definitely benefit from this course. While doing your medical course, you will learn an outline about echocardiography and its application. This course is a structured and detailed course on echocardiography that will make you knowledgeable and skilled in performing basic echocardiography, understanding various modes, echo windows and application of echocardiography in cardiac conditions.
  • What is the total duration of the course?
    • You are given 6-month duration to complete an online fellowship program in 2D echocardiography -Level ll. However, if you spend enough time on the learning materials and clear the assessments, you can finish the course at a faster rate and get the certification.

  • Physicians (MBBS, MD, and DNB), Cardiology, general medicine, radiology residents and residents working in cardiology and intensive care units.

  • Hands-on training means training in an environment that permits each student to have experience performing tasks, making decisions, or using equipment appropriate to the job assignment for which the training is being conducted. The student assigned for these programs will be observing all procedures performed by the consultant and depending on the student’s abilities and skill set displayed at the hospital, he/she will get to assist the consultant.
