MedEngage 2.0 intends to extend scholarships and research grants to 280 medical students
Metropolis Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of Metropolis Healthcare, has announced the commencement of the 6th edition of the annual ‘MedEngage Scholarship Program 2023-24.’ Applications are now open for scholarships and research grants catering to undergraduate and postgraduate medical students across all years of MBBS education, spanning postgraduate training years of MD / MS / DNB along with the intervening internship year.
As we celebrate a significant five-year milestone coinciding with the establishment of the Metropolis Foundation, in a post-COVID digitised era enriched with advancements like AI and Chat GPT, we acknowledge the compelling need to elevate the MedEngage programme to a more profound and advanced format. This evolution directly responds to the dynamic needs of the current times and the aspirations of our young prodigies.
Dr Duru Shah, Chairperson, Metropolis Foundation, said, “We firmly believe in the pivotal role that education plays in the holistic development of the nation’s youth. We are delighted to support bright young medical students who aspire to make meaningful contributions and require funding for research or thesis endeavours. The MedEngage programme embodies our commitment to enhancing the healthcare research and academic landscape in India. Our goal is to empower and encourage students to actively contribute to the evolving healthcare ecosystem.”
Dr Kirti Chadha, Chief Scientific Officer and Group Head-CSR, Metropolis Healthcare said, “As a socially responsible corporate company and citizens, Metropolis wants to support the young medical talent in the country in multiple ways, by widening the scope of MedEngage programme. We have designed an all-encompassing program that covers academics, research and innovation. Our team of 250+ doctors and 3000+ member scientific team will handhold the students in publishing more research papers and assist them in the pursuit of science, research and innovation.”
