1. M.Ch Trauma And Orthopedic Surgery

2. What is Orthopedic Surgery? Orthopedic surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of problems of the musculoskeletal system - joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Surgeons specialize in certain areas of the body - lower limb (hips and knees or foot and ankle), upper limb (shoulder and elbow or hand) and spine. Treatment may be surgical or non- surgical depending on your diagnosis.

4. Features of the program: • Knowledge and skill development program • Blended learning • Study without leaving job • Advanced learning management system to support students • Interactive online sessions • Affordable cost • Opportunity to upgrade without disturbing the current practicing • Well qualified program consultants/mentors to support the academics • Dedicated academic coordinator to support, throughout the course • Student has to find clinical sites for practical

5. ACADEMIC PROGRAM • The course is divided into 4 terms, each terms is of 4 months duration. • Out of the 4 terms, the last 1 term is dedicated for research and thesis writing • Students are expected to accomplish 12 theory & clinical modules and undergo clinical research course

6. ACADEMIC PROCESS • After enrolling in the university, student will pursue his course from his own place of residence and from the place where he is working • Each student will have a Course Tutor who will provide online support to the students throughout the course • The student will identify a clinical mentor on his own. The clinical mentor will assist the students to acquire clinical skills • Students will submit periodical reports to the university PG coordination office • The students will also review the latest research articles in his subject and publish it in international journals. These articles will be peer reviewed before publication • At the end of the course student will appear in clinical examination

7. LEARNING METHODOLOGY • The main thrust of the program is to gain knowledge and competencies through blended learning which is acquired through an appropriate interplay of course work, clinical work and research • Students are expected to do course work as prescribed in the curriculum • Work in hospitals or attend hospitals/clinics to acquire necessary clinical skills. It would be mandatory on the part of the students to report the acquisition of skills on weekly basis to the PG coordination office • Attend CME programs to gain credits • Article Review and Publications: To understand the contemporary innovation and research in the concerned specialty by doing articles reviews
