The Academy’s partnership with the century-old Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore assumes great importance as the institution has now forayed into medical education and research to meet national healthcare requirements. Very recently, IISc has seen high investment to spearhead a national medical mission, and significantly, it is blending science, engineering and medicine in this endeavour, which is the first of its kind in the country. The AI in Healthcare: Theory to Practice Programme in association with IISc offers a comprehensive curriculum tailored to healthcare professionals, emphasising the practical application of AI in healthcare. Over half of the coursework is dedicated to hands-on experience, allowing students to solve real-world medical challenges using AI along with live weekend sessions.
Aster Health Academy and MICA – The School of Ideas, Ahmedabad will offer postgraduate certification in Integrated Marketing and Branding for Healthcare, providing marketers with a comprehensive understanding of marketing and communication strategies for healthcare brands. The course features an interactive format and industry-focused curriculum, ensuring participants are equipped to handle unique challenges and seize opportunities in healthcare marketing and communication.
Yenepoya School of Allied Health Sciences, located in South Karnataka near Mangalore in partnership with the Academy, will offer a wide range of programmes in allied health sciences, equipping students with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in multiple healthcare roles. The focus will be on theoretical and clinical training and improving patient outcomes.
Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER) along with Aster Health Academy will offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses focusing on innovation in healthcare. The Academy’s Clinical Fellowship Level programmes will offer specialisations in Diabetes Mellitus, Critical Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine, focusing on bridging the educational gap – between theory and clinical practice and experience – for aspiring physicians.
