The outcomes of the first Summer Internship Program (SIP) organized by MUHS for undergraduate students pursuing Medical and AYUSH courses. The program aimed to introduce meaningful learning beyond rote memorization.

Key Highlights:

– Interdisciplinary Study: The interns worked with PhD students on various topics, integrating medical and engineering backgrounds to focus on applied physiology related to respiration and physics of NIV Interfaces.

– Objectives: The primary objectives were to learn about gas laws and their applied physiology in mechanical ventilation, as well as CFD studies of NIV interfaces.

– Guidance: The project was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Rashmi Uddanwadiker and Mentor, Dr. Satish Deopujari.

– Innovation: This integration at the student level was a novel approach, addressing a knowledge gap and providing a fresh outlook on existing ideas and data in both fields.

– Impact: The collaboration aimed to reduce errors in hospital operational functions and enhance the healthcare infrastructure.

Conclusion:

The SIP successfully achieved its objectives, providing a unique learning experience for the interns and contributing to the development of interdisciplinary studies in the field of medicine and engineering.
