What is unique about us?
We are a pioneer Health Sciences Deemed University in the country to offer a stream of innovative courses in health professions education, exclusively based on Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) recommended by the UGC/NAAC as a path-breaking reform
Our courses range from short Certificate Courses to Diploma in Health Professions Education (PGDHPE), M Phil Programme (all credit based), leading to Ph D in health professions education (External and Internal)
We emphasize inter-professional education. We cater to the needs of teachers (medical, dental, nursing and allied health sciences) who wish to pursue higher degree in health professions education and develop educational scholarship.
There is tremendous flexibility in pursuing these courses based on the CBCS pattern. One can enter or exit at various levels, depending upon the availability of time and career aspiration.
All our courses are based on “Heutagogy model” in which the participants are self-determined and pursue collaborative learning.
