How to Join the Cardiology Society of India

The Cardiological Society of India was formed in January 1948, one year earlier than the American College of Cardiology. The Society belongs to other international cardiology organizations and includes overseas members in both the medical and scientific professions connected with heart disease or research. Joining is a matter of completing the application form and providing documentation of qualifications, including sponsorship.
