Faculty development program
Indian health professions education is shifting from a traditional curriculum (which follows the British system) to one tailored for India. This transition requires keeping up with advances in educational science to maintain global leadership in health professions education. Urja brings in international best practices in curriculum design, leadership, and educational research to address this need.
Curriculum Design
Struggling to create integrated, short-term, competency-based, or outcome-based courses? Urja-Catalysts for Transformation offers faculty training and support in evidence-based curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation.
