India schools offers a variety of options for echocardiography degrees or certificates.
Echocardiography practitioners take sonograms of the heart and study them to determine if there is a problem. Echocardiography courses in India are available in cities such as New Delhi and Tamil Nadu. Students who wish to apply for these courses usually must have a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, but eligibility varies by school.

The basic echo course is provided to practicing physicians and includes hands-on training in visualization of both normal and pathological issues with heart and other heart problems. These courses include demonstrations, video clips, lectures and working with live patients. The advanced course is a three-day program that provides to practitioners information on the latest echocardiography tools and techniques, including Tissue Doppler Imaging and Strain Rate techniques. It will also go over the progress made in areas such as systolic/diastolic function, stress echocardiography and TEE. As of 2010, the in-house courses were still being developed.
