Puducherry-based Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College has partnered with Kaplan Medical, a unit of global educational services provider Kaplan, to improve medical education outcomes and bolster clinical readiness.

The partnership will leverage Kaplan’s renowned virtual remediation and assessment resources to benefit both faculty and students. Additionally, Kaplan expertise will support the enhancement of teaching methods, learning processes, and the overall success of aspiring medical professionals at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital (SMVMCH).

As part of the partnership, Kaplan is offering comprehensive resources to SMVMCH helping the school align with the new curriculum guidelines set forth by the National Medical Commission, the Indian regulatory body that regulates medical education and medical professionals, while also preparing students for successful outcomes on the NExT examination. While the partnership will open avenues for domestic success, it will additionally allow students to pursue international opportunities; Kaplan also prepares students for the USMLE®, a series of exams that students must pass to practice medicine in the United States.

The partnership comes at a time as Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College is proactively focusing on standardizing curriculum and preparing its students for global career pathways in medicine. The integration of Kaplan’s resources will help to identify and address educational gaps, fostering a more effective and comprehensive learning environment.
