On the occasion of World Health Day, Maharashtra, India’s Medical Education Minister Amit Deshmukh launched an e-learning solution for medical students who have returned from Ukraine. He also launched a mobile information app of the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik. A live demo was provided to the students and their parents who were present at the virtual launch.
Deshmukh congratulated the MUHS V-C and her team for expediting the work on developing a foster care kind of course for students who have returned from Ukraine and said efforts are underway to ensure that MUHS has its own college.
Lt Gen (retd) Madhuri Kanitkar, Vice Chancellor of MUHS said at least 900 students who returned from Ukraine have registered for the e-learning solution and there is room for more.
As Ukraine had a different way of teaching it is not possible to amalgamate that system here. So, with the help of our experts and Elsevier, a noted medical publisher, the digital content was prepared for a three-month course. The content has been prepared topic-wise and students can select the curriculum he or she has been given by their university in Ukraine. The digital content will be provided free of cost to the students.
This gives an opportunity to the students to study at their convenient time and convenience. Students have to register on the MUHS website and then access the content, said Lt Gen Kanitkar.
The modules have been prepared to ensure practical bedside training during the summer vacations. There will soon be a facilitator chat forum for difficulties and they will also provide practical workshops. Experts will also be available for one-on-one consultations to address difficulties that students may face.
They are also planning to make another app only for students’ issues, schemes and grievances.
