Manipal Global Education Services in Bengaluru has launched a digital learning and assessment resource for undergraduate MBBS students in India. Called Manipal MedAce, this is a comprehensive and outcome-driven MBBS learning resource based on academic and learner research.
The product is designed for the purpose of e-learning and is seamlessly mapped to the medical curriculum. Its features include interactive, multimedia learning modules for core topics, short lecture capsules from top Indian medical faculty, case-based learning tools, knowledge checkpoints, and question banks for exam practice
Undergraduate MBBS students are enabled to optimise campus learning by getting access to a comprehensive and well-curated learning resource on a single platform.
According to Ranjan Pai, chairman of Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG), the group has over the years pioneered several novel initiatives that have paved the way for progress around the world. “With Manipal MedAce, we are combining our passion for innovation with a desire to positively impact Healthcare Education. Having been a student of medicine myself, I have a first-hand understanding of the challenges an MBBS student is faced with and Manipal MedAce is our effort to create a learning powerhouse for medical students,” he said.
Ravi Panchanadan, MD and CEO, Manipal Global Education Services (MaGE), commented on the outcome of extensive market research done by us on the need gap present in undergraduate MBBS learning today. While there are multiple providers of learning products in the UG and PG Prep space, there is evident whitespace for actual MBBS learning, which this programme hopes to fill.
“The present-day MBBS learner’s needs are core to Manipal MedAce’s design and development. The mission is to offer a comprehensive digital resource that supplements MBBS learning. Essentially the product ensures better management of time between campus learning and self-paced revision. Significant investment has been made in adapting e-learning design principles to the content enabling SMART self-study. Presented on an easy to navigate, multi-device capable, and feature-rich platform, the user experience and interface make for stress-free learning.” said, Balasundaram Athreya, chief digital officer, Manipal Global Education Services (MaGE) and Business Head, Manipal MedAce.
