Education Programme

Medvarsity Fellowship

This is one of the flagship courses of Medvarsity. It is designed to impart knowledge and skills about critical care of the patients admitted in the ICU. Experience and knowledge gained from this course will help improve the care delivered not only in the ICU but also to critically ill patients in other areas such as the emergency room, postoperative care unit and in disaster settings.

The course design is such that different modules can be tailored to be stand-alone subject for learning. This is in particular useful for non-Apollo partners as the module and its delivery can be made available according to the partner’s requirements and base level expertise.
