- Medvacity, as Asia's largest healthcare tech company, distinguishes itself through innovations in healthcare education. This includes Skivest Collaborative Learning, which maps real-world cases to modules, making learning practical and engaging, and the "Books and Journals" initiative.
- The "Books and Journals" initiative provides students with access to the latest medical information by partnering with publications like McGraw-Hill (Harrison's Textbook of Medicine), Wolters Kluwer (Lippincott journals), and Springer Nature. Students gain access to relevant articles mapped to their course modules, ensuring they are up-to-date on advancements in their field.
- A key benefit is the inclusion of a one-year subscription to both McGraw-Hill and Wolters Kluwer publications within the course fees. This valuable addition, normally costing around $1,500, equips students with the knowledge and resources to stay current with the latest medical guidelines.
- This initiative stemmed from a need to differentiate Medvacity's courses and address the rapidly changing landscape of medical guidelines. Integrating journal subscriptions ensures that students have access to the most recent information, something that static courses cannot provide.
- Doctors can leverage books and journals for various reasons. Private practitioners can better address "Google patients" by staying informed about the latest research and guidelines. Hospital doctors can use them to maintain the required knowledge levels for quality norms like JCI and Esquire.
- Indian doctors, in particular, can utilize these resources for research and development. Given India's diverse patient population and prevalence of various diseases, there is immense opportunity for contributing to medical advancements and establishing guidelines for disease prevention and management.
- Access to books and journals empowers doctors to understand research methodologies, design studies, and contribute meaningfully to the medical community. This leads to a stronger professional standing, and recognition as authors.
