The one-year course will empower medical professionals to help them address the growing menace of heart diseases
Madhavbaug Institute of Preventive Cardiology (MIPC) has launched a one-year interpathy course for medical professionals to empower them with skills to address the growing menace of heart disease. The e-learning course is conducted in affiliation with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences.
The course would encompass in-depth study of cardiac anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and modern examination and diagnostic procedures. Interpathy is a combination of traditional Indian and modern medical science of allopathy, homeopathy and ayurveda. The course would be undertaken in an e-learning format with contact hours at the end of the course for clinical training at leading cardiac tertiary centres.
Treatment tenets from modern medicine and surgical techniques as well as ayurvedic and homeopathy approaches to prevention and treatment would also be covered.
“We intend to enrol and train 100 medical professionals in the first year with skills set that would offer them a 360 degree approach toward preventive cardiology. We are also putting a mechanism in place to facilitate placement of all successful candidates at the conclusion of the course,” said Dr Jagdish Hiremath, Chair Professor, MIPC.
The course will commence from July 15, 2016 and admissions are currently underway.
