Apollo & Maquarie University signature pact
Australia’s academic health sciences center, Macquarie University and Apollo Hospitals have celebrated the launch of their strategic collaboration that will facilitate long-term, mutually beneficial academic exchanges between the two organisations.
Hyderabad : Australia’s academic health sciences center, Macquarie University and Apollo Hospitals have celebrated the launch of their strategic collaboration that will facilitate long-term, mutually beneficial academic exchanges between the two organisations.
The Macquarie University has also conferred an honorary doctorate to Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals.
Prathap C Reddy, Chairman-Founder, Apollo Hospitals who was at the event spoke highly of the new partnership with Macquarie University.
As part of this collaboration, students from Macquarie’s four-year graduate-entry Doctor of Medicine program, the Macquarie MD, will complete five months of clinical learning at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad as part of their degree
“We’re moving more and more towards a world without borders. Here at Apollo, we’re so much more than an Indian community, we’re a global community, and anything we can do which adds value to that, is important to us. We have the infrastructure and people to help deliver and create global doctors and are pleased to be working with Macquarie on their innovative new MD program.
The benefits for the students are numerous, for example the disease profiles of the two countries are completely different, providing students with an enriching learning experience. We also treat more than half a million patients a year here at Apollo, so the quantity and breadth of the clinical cases we have will be unlike those that the students will experience in Australia,” said Dr Reddy.
Professor S Bruce Dowton, Vice-Chancellor Macquarie University commented – “We are incredibly proud to be working with Apollo Hospital. In looking at international collaborations we sought partners who share similar value sets, and who provide a quality and patient-centered model of care for our students to learn within.
Apollo’s long-standing experience in the delivery of medical training, underpinned by its commitment to the achievement of excellence in clinical care made it the perfect partner for our MD program.
