Manipal, Aug 23, 2015 : Speaking after inaugurating the three-day Indo-German Convention of Lindau Alumni (IGCLA -2015), organised by Kasturba Medical College (KMC), H. Vinod Bhat, Vice-Chancellor of Manipal University, said that engineering and medical students should work together to solve problems to better the community.
According to a press release issued by the Manipal University, Dr. Bhat commented on the sparse knowledge base among medical students with regards to bioethics, communication skills and data analysis in the past, but recently noticed a sense of curiosity amongst students, which is a “welcome change.” He expressed happiness that a conference of this magnitude was organised and conducted by medical students.
