Since 2019, SGU and Ramaiah’s “Mini-Med” Course has allowed students to get a glimpse into medical education and experience the broad spectrum of topics they would expect to encounter at medical school. In 2022, students on the two-day course will take taster classes in medical ethics, dissection and basic surgical skills, and anatomical terminology. They will also be introduced to fascinating topics such as emergency medicine and basic life support. The primary objective of the “Mini-Med” Course is to give students an in-depth perspective about what to expect while they are being trained to be a doctor, and to envision themselves embarking on a global career in medicine.
Comprising a series of moderated and interactive sessions, the two-day course will cover a diverse range of topics and provide students with an opportunity to understand medicine as a career path. Students will engage with multiple on-ground academic staff to gain practical experience through experiential training, and lab work in small group sessions. The St. George's University faculty will also enable students to become familiar with worldwide healthcare systems and global healthcare challenges.
“Today's medical aspirants have access to a wealth of information before making any decisions regarding their future education. SGU and Ramaiah’s “Mini-Med” Course goes further than research; allowing students to engage with experienced medical experts and provide motivation to follow their dream of becoming a doctor.” adds Dr. Sudha Suresh, Associate Dean, Ramaiah International Medical School.
In addition to gaining insights into the life of a medical student, the sessions aim to help students select and obtain information about a career in medicine. Students will get certificates upon successful completion of the course and will also have the opportunity to interact and network with senior medical academic professionals.
