The two institutions have
agreed to develop collaborative activities in academic areas of mutual
interest, paving the way for students of Ramaiah to study at SGU in future. A
Joint Medical Degree Program is in development – to be launched in January of
2019 – wherein RMC will teach the first year of SGU’s five-year medical
programme to its students. Those who successfully meet the promotion
requirements will continue the Doctor of Medicine programme in Grenada, or in
the UK as part of the Keith B Taylor Global Scholars Programme – in partnership
with Northumbria University. They will then complete their clinical training in
the US, UK and Grenada.
“The collaboration between
Ramaiah and SGU will open up new frontiers for Indian students, who will be
exposed to both Eastern and Western culture and benefit from a truly global
perception of healthcare”
The MOU also expresses support
for a student exchange programme, enabling scholars, graduates and undergraduates
from RMC to spend time at SGU, and vice-versa. Faculty and administrative staff
will also be able to take part in the exchange programme, and the two
universities will conduct collaborative research projects. Short-term,
customized courses for students on credit transfer or study abroad programmes
will also be facilitated.
Commenting on the signing of
the MOU, Dr G Richard Olds, President of SGU, said, “The breadth of this
agreement is testament to the benefit it will bring to both institutions. A
well-rounded medical education is the foundation of any successful doctor’s
career, and international experience is an important component of that
training. I am delighted that our students will have the opportunity to train
at Ramaiah Medical College and look forward to welcoming their students to our
True Blue Campus”.
Noting the benefits of
international partnerships, Dr Naresh Shetty, President of the International
Program at RMC, said, “The collaboration between Ramaiah and SGU will open up
new frontiers for Indian students, who will be exposed to both Eastern and
Western culture and benefit from a truly global perception of healthcare”.
