During the Integrated Holistic Health Summit of C20, Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Manohar Lal officially opened the Amrita School of Medicine in Faridabad, which is a significant development for medical education in Haryana. For the academic year 2023–2024, spread across the 5.2 lakhs square foot Amrita School of Medicine, it will offer 150 MBBS seats, with admission via the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (UG).
The Amrita School of Medicine is a part of the Amrita Hospital, which has 2,600 beds and is India’s largest private multispecialty hospital. It aspires to provide the same level of academic and medical quality as the Kochi location of the highly regarded Amrita School of Medicine. The facility has all the infrastructure and amenities necessary for advanced learning, according to Dr. Sanjeev Singh, Medical Director of Amrita Hospital in Faridabad. These include cutting-edge classrooms, top-notch labs, cutting-edge technology, and academic and research connections with Amrita University and a few Ivy League universities in the US and Europe.
All students, whether from India or outside, will have access to the hostel facilities of the Amrita School of Medicine, which has some of the greatest faculty in all of Asia. The eighth campus of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, one of the top-ranked private colleges in India, houses the institution. The university is certified by NAAC with the highest possible grade of “A++” and is rated fifth in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) Rankings 2022.
The Faridabad site is home to a medical college, a nursing college, and an Allied Health Sciences College that offers 20 to 30 courses to support the clinical teams at the nearby hospital. The Amrita School of Medicine is the most recent addition to this interdisciplinary healthcare system. Collaboration between scholars at Amrita University and medical personnel at Amrita Hospital produces a unique multidisciplinary ecosystem that fosters scientific advancement.
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has constructed a 100,000 square foot simulation learning and development centre that provides undergraduate and graduate students with robotic training, haptic-based training, surgical training simulation, cadaver training, and high-fidelity training. With a focus on research, collaboration, and shared information, the Faridabad campus is developing into one of India’s few multidisciplinary healthcare systems.
The Amrita School of Medicine in Faridabad continues the traditions of the Amrita School of Medicine in Kochi, which is now regarded as the eighth-best medical school in the world by the NIRF Rankings 2021. The university’s chancellor is Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, or AMMA, a well-known humanitarian. With the opening of the Amrita School of Medicine in Faridabad, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham hopes to offer students from India and other countries a top-notch medical education and develop healthcare in the area.
