About Shristy Institute

Who are We?

Shristy Institute, a center of excellence, dedicated to education, training and research in diagnostic ultrasound. Since its inception in the year 1999, the institute has carved a niche for itself and has brought about a silent revolution in the field of practicing ultrasound, so much so that it has the distinction of being the only center in Bangladesh for methodical ultrasound training.

Dr.M. Akhter Hossain
President

It is the first institution in Asia to provide internationally accredited program with The Michener Institute of Applied Health Technology, Canada, and Medinova Medical Services in December 1999. At the onset, the first three batches were run under direct supervision of Michener Institute, Canada and the 36 students of those 3 batches successfully completed Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound.

In January 2003, we received the affiliation of Bangladesh Technical Education Board under the Ministry of Education continuing the diploma program with the transfer of curriculum and training expertise from the Michener Institute, thus could be able to reduce the course cost substantially, keeping the same standard of education and training as The Michener Institute of Canada. We received an affiliation with Northern University Bangladesh, a leading private university approved by UGC in 2007. NUB offered the one year Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound Diagnostic (DMUD).

In June 2011, we have signed an agreement with U&I Alliance, University of Dhaka who will support our ultrasound programs. U&I Alliance, University of Dhaka will assist us to improve the quality of courses and enhance its brand image through quality assurance and strategic planning support.

We have expanded and enhanced the ultrasound programs offered to help our professionals remain up-to-date with the Continuing Education Program. To make this possible, we have established a unique & innovative partnership program with Institute of Ultrasound Technique, Canada & started an Advance Diploma Program (ADMS) for those who are already in the ultrasound profession, to enhance their scanning technique, with advance level hands-on training on different specialty ultrasound like Anomaly scan in Obstetrics, TV/TR, 3D/4D ultrasound, Vascular & Musculoskeletal ultrasound & Doppler modalities that is run under direct supervision of Hugh Ellis, RT, RDMS, RVT, a renowned Canadian Clinical ultrasound instructor. Our DMUD certification will be issued jointly by Institute of Ultrasound Technique, Canada and Supported by U&I Alliance, University of Dhaka.
