The National Medical Commission’s document – “Competency based undergraduate curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate” specifies in 3.4.4: Competency based Undergraduate (UG) curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate (Foundation course for MBBS) specifies on page 64: |
These skills of searching (and referencing) are rarely taught in the curriculum with a systematic approach that IS needed. QMed wishes to help impart and spread these skills. It is our mission to ensure that our skills reach out to all institutions in India.
We invite institutions to partner with us and for each institution to provide access to:
- UG students – please make it mandatory for them
- PG students, Fellows, Residents, Faculty and all other healthcare professionals – please encourage maximum numbers to do the courses
How we have made things easy to go ahead
Removing real / perceived constraints:
- Registered participants have a whole year to learn and the duration of all courses is just about eight hours of video viewing plus a little additional time for assessments
- An average video is only five minutes long, so one can do the courses bit by bit
- The courses can easily be done on a mobile too
Costs – easy to approve:
We believe that with large numbers of institutions taking access, we can keep the costs low. This is a win-win for all. Here are our annual rates for institutional access:
- Medical Colleges – Rs 60,000 plus GST – 18%
