COVID-19 is rapidly spreading all over the globe. It has created a dearth of healthcare workers especially in the diagnostics, therapeutics & technology space. Beyond doctors and nurses,
the allied and other healthcare professionals are equally important as frontline COVID warriors. All providers must be prepared to recognize, stabilize and treat patients with the novel
coronavirus infection.
Moreover, the current workforce has inadequate information, instructions & skills in facing the dreaded COVID-19 virus. The diploma program will equip the
participants to be prepared to face the pandemic by recognizing the infection & being technologically confident for treating COVID-19 infected patients, thereby creating a knowledgeable
and skilled healthcare workforce.
This program intends to rapidly disseminate state-of-the-art COVID-19 related training in the shortest period of time (one month) thereby promoting job prospects of Allied & Healthcare Professionals while pursuing
the current education in healthcare. The main objective of the Diploma is to make the participants skilled and equipped in their pre- existing specializations to effectively manage and treat COVID-19 patients.
The program has seven core courses and six specialization specific elective courses. The core courses pertain to general aspects of COVID-19 such as basic biology, epidemiology with understanding of transmission
of the virus, mental health, nutrition management and diagnostic & prognostic investigations of COVID-19 infection. The elective courses include technical and patient care in cardiac care, clinical laboratory,
imaging sciences, respiratory therapy, renal care and OT & anesthesia.
The expert faculty, eminent clinicians and key opinion leaders will deliver academic sessions with blended asynchronous and
synchronous style pedagogy. Experiential practical training will be facilitated by Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre.
On successful completion of the training program, the healthcare
professionals will receive a diploma certificate from Symbiosis International University, recognized by all the healthcare institutions and industry.
