Postgraduate Training in Echocardiography and Independent Cardiac Reporting

The M.Sc. Echocardiography program offered by Manipal College of Health Professions is a postgraduate program that trains you in performing echocardiography, or heart scanning, to evaluate different aspects of the heart such as chamber size, valve function, and blood flow across disease conditions including CHD, IHD, VHD, and cardiomyopathies. You review patient files and build the familiarity with cardiac conditions needed to recognise and identify abnormalities and to report them. The program provides unmatched clinical exposure through its affiliation with Kasturba Hospital, a leading tertiary care hospital, and through community settings and institutions.

Program Highlights

Independent Reporting Skills: You are trained to diagnose cardiac diseases by echocardiography and to report individually.

Training Across Three Clinical Settings: You work in the cardiac non-invasive lab, at the bedside, and in critical care units.

Unmatched Clinical Exposure: Your training draws on the program's affiliation with Kasturba Hospital, a leading tertiary care hospital, alongside community settings and institutions.

Continuous Technology Learning: You are continuously involved in learning new technologies and disease processes to uplift the quality of your reporting.

Research Training: You are trained in research methodologies to carry out research in cardiology.

Curriculum and Fees

Year 1
Year 2

Your first year builds the scientific and clinical foundation of echocardiography. Semester one grounds you in advanced biostatistics and research methodology, clinical cardiology, ultrasound and Doppler principles alongside cardiac embryology, and the full range of diagnostic imaging modalities. Semester two moves deeper into the heart itself — covering cardiovascular diseases and medicine, with focused study of ischemic and valvular heart disease — while ethics and pedagogy shape your professional grounding. Throughout the year, dedicated practicals, clinical postings, and research components run in parallel each semester, so theory learned in the classroom is continually applied at the machine, at the bedside, and in your own developing research work.
