IISc’s Graduate Medical School is the newest initiative the Institute has undertaken. Computer science, artificial intelligence, Nano Engineering, Machine Learning and many other such subjects are required in addition to traditional biological sciences to address complex problems faced in healthcare.
The MD-PhD integrated dual degree programme will train students in translational research, give them a chance to understand the nuances of clinical problems and garner the required knowledge to work on new solutions. Concurrently, the MD/MS PG programme aims to provide comprehensive clinical training to MBBS graduates.
We would like to request funding for the following specialities of the hospital. These wings will be named after the donors perpetually and will include funding the equipment in these clinical departments. The budget for these specialities is given below. Other facilities for which we require funding are also listed below. In particular, the Clinical and Translation Centre will house all the research labs and other facilities to enable high-impact clinical and translational research. This center will be named after the donor in perpetuity.
In addition, we require 57 endowed Chair Professorships. These will also be named after the donors in perpetuity. Each Chair Professorship requires an endowment between $750,000 to $500,000. Similarly we require 10 Visiting Chair Professorships, each requiring an endowment of $500,000. Finally, we are seeking endowments to fund student stipends for 30 meritorious students and to fund internships for 30 of the best students to spend 6 months in the best medical schools abroad.
An endowment of $500,000 for funding one Visiting Chair Professorship
D) Student Stipend Endowment (30)
An endowment of $375,000 for funding stipend for one graduate medical student
E) Student Internship Endowment (30)
An endowment of $440,000 for funding one student internship in medical schools abroad
Note: All endowments will be named after the respective donors in perpetuity.
