Mediversal Academy: A platform by doctors for the doctors
When speaking about the healthcare industry in India, one cannot leave the events of the pandemic aside. The development of the indigenous COVAXIN brought light to the country’s potential to innovate. It was heartwarming to see the level of community support by both NGOs and individual volunteers. However, it also highlighted the paradox of India’s multi-payer universal healthcare system. The lack of skilled professionals who could meet the growing demands of the population despite having one of the most advanced systems around the globe. One thing was clear to Dr. Durgesh Bansal and Dr. Charu Lata: the health sector needed a revolution in order to catch up with evolving needs. Upskilling healthcare professionals was paramount.
This marked the start of providing Indians with access to world-class healthcare education through Mediversal Academy. The compassion of Mediversal Academy's founders, Dr. Durgesh & Dr. Charu, gave birth to the institution. Their strategic healthcare advisor, Dr. Alen Thomas (MS), and business advisors, Mr. Prashant Jha and Mr. Srinivas Subramanya are the academy’s driving forces.
Mediversal Academy, a term that seems to be an amalgamation of medical and universal, highlights the founders’ vision of bringing together medical knowledge and a universal approach to health care. Together, the founders have combined their years of medical expertise and business acumen to create a platform that bridges critical skill gaps in healthcare. Their shared commitment to excellence has shaped Mediversal Academy into a globally recognised institution dedicated to empowering healthcare professionals with world-class education and training.
World-class education for professionals
Within the Mediversal Academy lies the Nobel resolve of creating an overarching, accessible medium for healthcare professionals to hone their skills and become world-class professionals who eventually contribute to community health. Thus, their world-class Learning Management System (LMS) featuring over 42 speciality video courses was launched through the venture. Made in collaboration with educators with renowned international institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Warren Alpert Medical School, and Yale School of Medicine, it ensures that students get to have world-class education anytime, anywhere.
The efforts of the team ensure that every course is backed by the latest research and clinical practices. It is this uncompromising quality that has helped them earn the CPD Providers Licence from The CPD Group UK, adding to the credibility of their courses. Further recognition by prestigious international institutes, including the American Board of Accreditation Services (ABAS), Quality Research Organisation, The International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and The Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC), and certification of IS0 9001 testify their efficiency and commitment to excellence.
Diplomas and Fellowship Programmes for Healthcare Professionals.
Within a short span of time, Mediversal Academy has gained accreditation from 3 premier universities in India for its diploma and fellowship training programmes due to their real-world relevance.
Medical Fellowships are sought after by several professionals after completing residency in the pursuit of specialisation in a specific area of medicine. By enabling physicians to gain knowledge and expertise within a year or two under the guidance of an able specialist, fellowship training has great potential to improve the healthcare system.
The system adopted by Mediversal Academy follows an interactive approach wherein students are able to maximise the outcome by learning from those who have been leading the field for years. There can be no better way to learn to conduct diagnoses with accuracy in the real world and learn how to personalise treatment plans for various patients.
But that's not all; Mediversal Academy won't miss any opportunity to deliver the unexpected when it comes to fostering excellence in their students. To offer practical experience and knowledge to their students, they provide clinical attachments with top-class global hospitals. They have a wide network of over 45 partner hospitals through which students can enjoy the benefit of working with veterans from 45 days to 180 days, allowing them to gain confidence in their skills.
Value in every minute
The platform recognises that a healthcare professional's life is dynamic, with their schedules changing every day. Thus, their time is invaluable. For them to invest in any programme and improve, they would need programmes that are flexible and available at any time. Thus, Mediversal Academy allows students to access lectures anywhere, anytime, so that they learn as per their learning pace and time. To facilitate a supportive environment, they also host regular question-and-answer sessions so that students don’t feel unsupported or isolated during their experience. These interactive sessions have been successful in resolving the doubts of several candidates.
To further its commitment to excellence, each course is supported by a dedicated Indian faculty member, and comprehensive study notes are provided to the students. Lifetime access to webinar recordings adds cherry on top for students. To sum it up, the institute stands true to its mission of making healthcare in India advanced and accessible.
Advancing innovations through Doc-Preneurship
Mediversal Academy goes a step further to support those candidates who have business acumen and want to unlock their full potential. Thus, in collaboration with some of the most esteemed IIM alumni, entrepreneurs, and business leaders, it has launched its "Doc-Preneurship" programme. It is a one-of-a-kind initiative that provides candidates with much-needed exposure to strategic industry insights, which are critical for evolving into global leaders.
ZERO INTEREST Loans and more to make education accessible
Mediversal Academy’s steadfast loyalty to its cause of many accessible education is reflected in their policy of interest-free loans to avail courses. Students are allowed to opt to pay the fees in 12 easy installments without any interest charges. Moreover, they contribute to the larger community by conducting monthly webinars with experts from premier institutions like AIIMS, Medanta, and St. Stephen's Hospital with the vision to keep the healthcare professionals up to date with medical advancements.
