Introducing Our Founding Faculty
Say hello to EDU’s founding faculty group, comprised of expert physicians, clinicians and distinguished researchers who have dedicated their professional lives to improve medical education.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
THEORETICAL PHYSICIST
Here at EDU, we are driven by a commitment to interprofessional excellence, guided by a conviction that being a great doctor means more than simply having a good grasp of theory. The guiding philosophy behind our approach is to combine a cutting edge digital learning platform, with immersive patient-oriented practical experience in real hospitals, from the very beginning.
This is how we equip our graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to go out into the real world, and deliver the best, most well-rounded patient care possible.
