A world-class, state-of-the-art training centre for medical professionals
Meril Academy prides itself as an innovative and ground-breaking training centre. It was built with the aim to disseminate cutting-edge scientific knowledge to physicians, surgeons, technicians and paramedics. Meril Academy was built with the cosmic vision of bridging the gap between the rapid advancement in technology and its impact on surgeries. Our aim is to empower those responsible for the future of healthcare.
Award-winning medical professionals from across the world, with varying training requirements, grace us with their presence. Here, they participate in relevant programmes aided by best-in-class teaching tools. Meril Academy hosts various reflective, interactive and experiential workshops comprising advanced simulators-based as well as modular learning courses.
We encourage peer-to-peer learning by enabling a collegial environment for the diffusion of knowledge. Healthcare professionals get the opportunity to discuss and practice the betterment of various procedures in intervention cardiology, arthroplasty, and in the field of surgery and diagnostics.
Complex Interventional Techniques:
Meril has always strived to raise the bar of healthcare services and scale out technology access to the most remote geography. To accomplish this, one of the key objectives within Meril, is to dedicate our time and efforts towards training and education of our stakeholders within the healthcare ecosystem – Doctors, Paramedics & Hospital staff.
Meril Live started off with the mission of providing a forum for Healthcare Professionals to come together and discuss innovations in practice and education, recent finding from research and the challenges that confront in interventional care.
The planned program offers opportunities to develop practical skills, debate challenging technologies in practice, exchange ideas and learn from experts. Three Meril Live Events, several live cases and many complex case presentations, it has come a long way.
Moreover, in last two quarters we had Complex Interventional Techniques, Chapter – 11 that has set a benchmark by organising CME program on international level and agglomerating people from across the globe. The Live surgeries were on Complex PCI, Chronic Total Occlusion, Bifurcation Stenting, Left Main Stenting and Peripheral Stenting. Didactic sessions were followed post live surgery. Various speakers shared their experiences of using our BioMimeTM family products including some interesting case studies and discussions amongst the participating surgeons.
Meril Academy has been a part of these phenomenal events taking place quarterly. Delegates from all over the world participate in this event and knowledge sharing is done in an interactive way. This initiative has paved the way for all the aspiring Surgeons, Healthcare Professionals to enrich their knowledge and horn their surgical skills.
Master Course:
Masters’ course is an initiative of Meril Orthopaedic Division which was started with a purpose to discuss the latest advancement in Joint Replacement scenario across regions and conclude certain debatable topics appropriately.
The event is conducted quarterly with participation of 150+ national and international delegates. Eminent course directors and faculty facilitate the course over 2 days. Apart from didactic lectures and live surgeries, the course had interactive sessions and addressed knitty-gritty in the Joint Replacement held. The sharing of knowledge and experience of the course directors among the delegate made an interacting environment.
Delegates get to see live surgeries of TKR, Complex cases, Hip cases and opportunity to discuss variety of cases. This has helped surgeons improve their surgical techniques, patient satisfaction level, counselling skill with patients and ultimately the surgical outcome for the benefit to the patient and society as a whole. The courses we conduct help improve professional relationships which results in better co-operation among surgeons.
Meril Academy has been a part of these phenomenal events taking place quarterly. Delegates from all over the world participate Meril Academy join hands with Meril Orthopaedic in making this workshop CME accredited and provides the facility for conducting the workshop. The hardship and meticulous planning of the team makes this workshop a great success.
Orthopaedic Division: Visiting Surgeons Program (VSP)
About a year back, Orthopaedic Division started pilot project of Visiting Surgeons Program (VSP) in collaboration with Meril Academy, bringing nearly 35-40 surgeons every month together for interactive sessions and live cases.
So far, we have provided an academic platform to about 1000 orthopaedic surgeons which has helped them in better procedure adoption and bridging the gap between the practical and theoretics of surgery for the aspiring surgeons.
We could scale up the number of surgeries in the last two years immensely because of surgeons’ trust and faith on us and the academic programs have served us well to that extent.
Anoproctology:
The Anoproctology Fest 2016 event is the example of aforementioned learning experience. It is a unique initiative of Meril towards setting up new standards of excellence in the field of continuing surgical education across specialities.
The event was a grand success with the participation of more than 180 delegates and 25 eminent faculties from India, Nepal & Bangladesh.
This 2 day conference with the theme of Update in Anorectal Surgery was specially designed for practicing surgeons to update them with the fascinating fractions of medical science of anorectal procedures. The planned program offered opportunities to develop practical skills, exchange ideas and learn from the experts.
Anastomosis:
In today’s world, experience in surgical skill comes with “Hands On” experience and this is the cutting edge that MERIL has to its advantage.
Cardiovascular Anastomosis Workshop is an opportunity for Cardiovascular Surgeon Trainees to hone their skills that impact directly to the quality of their surgical performance. The course focuses exclusively on the basics such as heart anatomy and vessel suturing on harvested animal tissues.
COE:
We at Meril understand the technological advances in the discipline of Surgery and Minimal Access Surgeries (MAS), hence, want to support, educate and upgrade the surgical skills of Post Graduate students of Private & Govt. Teaching Institutions.
In addition to theory and clinical structured training programs, there is a huge demand from the faculty to educate their students on new technologies through specialized skills’ lab at their respective institutions. At Meril Academy, we are providing Professional Education support by setting up a Centre Of Excellence on their request in the premises of institution itself for the benefit of young aspiring surgeons. And this is made possible with support and co-ordination of a robust team from Meril Endo-Surgery. These academic activities are the stepping stone for many young aspiring surgeons to learn and adopt the procedure for better surgical outcome hence restoring the joys of many patients.
