Growth and expansion in
healthcare necessitates a team
approach – and a variety of skills
and expertise – in curing illness
and sustaining life. Advanced,
complex instrumentation and
sophisticated equipment are
needed to meet the rising
demand for cost-effective
diagnosis, treatment and related
services, requiring professionals
to operate, manage and maintain
them. Allied Health Sciences courses thus enable
healthcare professionals to work
at multiple points in the care
and healing pathway.
From 1903, when “Aunt
Ida” trained local women as
compounders, CMC has seen
continuous upgradation in
informal in-service training
to certificate-, diploma- and
university degree-level courses,
and 2011 saw significant
increases in the number and
range of AHS courses. Currently,
CMC awards eight diplomas,
19 bachelor’s degrees, 13 postgraduate
diplomas and two
fellowships programmes in
AHS. Since 2014, 195 students
have completed their respective
courses; 467 are en route.
The training integrates
classroom teaching with hands-on
clinical and practical work.
The courses are designed
to improve knowledge and
professional skills, build
character, nurture motivation
and strengthen drive not to be
served, but to serve the poor
and marginalised.
