A first for India · Bedside sonology training

Learning ultrasound shouldn't feel lonely.

Five unhurried days at the bedside with Dr. Swati Kshirsagar — a doctor who remembers exactly what it felt like to hold the probe for the first time. A safe space to ask, practise and grow. No judgement, ever.

If this sounds familiar

01You've watched a patient leave for a scan elsewhere — and waited, worried, for her to come back.

02You learned ultrasound in fragments: a few minutes here, a borrowed probe there.

03You know you could do this well, if someone just stood beside you and showed you how.

You're not alone. Most of us were never taught sonology properly — we were expected to pick it up. This program exists so you don't have to.

Why this is a first

Not a lecture hall. A bedside.

For the first time in India, a structured sonology program is taught entirely the way clinicians actually learn — with real patients, in small groups, and a mentor's hand guiding yours.

  • Small batches

    So every doctor gets time on the probe, not just a view of the screen.

  • Real patients

    Because textbook images never look like Monday morning OPD.

  • No rush

    Ask the question you feel silly asking. Ask it twice.

  • You're never on your own

    After the course, we review your first 100 scans with you.

Straight from recent batches

This is what a session actually looks like.

No staged photos, no borrowed stock. Real doctors, real machines, real practice — from the batches Dr. Swati has trained.

The honest maths

What a small sonography centre actually costs — and earns.

Most doctors don't fear the scanning; they fear the numbers. So here is a real worked example, the way Dr. Swati walks through it during the course.

₹15 lakh

Machine with convex & TVS probes

A typical new machine in India runs ₹12–20 lakh depending on brand and features.

₹32,600 /mo

Bank loan EMI

₹15 lakh financed over 5 years at ~11% p.a. — about ₹4.6 lakh interest over the full term.

₹2.08 lakh /mo

Gross scan revenue

A modest 8 scans a day at ₹1,000 each, 26 working days a month.

~4 days

To cover each EMI

Roughly the first four working days of the month pay the loan. The rest is yours.

Now run your own numbers.

Move the sliders to match your practice — how many scans you'd honestly do in a day, what your patients typically pay, and what a machine would cost you. No sign-up, nothing saved.

Before income tax. If this is negative, start smaller — a refurbished machine or fewer days a week is fine.

Rough gross figures only — they don't yet account for consumables, staff, electricity or loan interest. Dr. Swati walks through your real numbers with you during the course.

A note from Dr. Swati

"In 25 years, I've seen how much a doctor can do for a patient when they can see what's happening. I want every doctor who comes to me to leave feeling capable, safe and proud of their scans — and to carry that care back to their own patients."
