MEdRC was set up in 1993 at Hyderabad, to help doctors teach and learn medicine making full use of computer graphics and multimedia technologies.
What started as a center to develop audio-visual aids at low cost for seminars, lectures and CME Programs, has evolved into an ambitious project that aimed to significantly enhance the existing infrastructure and quality of medical & healthcare education through emerging digital technologies.
MEdRC’s initial efforts were aimed at developing an exhaustive library of digitally archived e-Lectures by “Master Teachers” encompassing the entire undergraduate medical curriculum and for continuing medical education.

The Team:
- MEdRC has an excellent Medical Illustration Team which works on various reference diagrams provided by the faculty to create original medical graphics.
- For concepts that need to be explained using animation, the Cel Animation Team develops interactive learning objects that provide an immersive experience to the learner.
- A 3D Graphics & Animation team has been working to recreate the human body in all 3 dimensions, part by part, each part being anatomically accurate and proportionate to another.
- Videography across our three shoot floors is handled by Video Team who also edit the videos and synchronize it with multiple audio-streams.
- Doctors with decades of experience in specialized domains lead the Content Development Team, which does research into core medical content for our products.
- An Exam Orientation Team decides as to what long questions, short notes or multiple choice questions can get asked from each lecture.
- MEdRC’s Software Development Team has developed SmarTeach, a World-Class Teaching and Learning management software that provides tools to integrate teaching content, distribute it widely, and track learning activities.
MEdRC is actively collaborating with various partners to enable its content to be available to every medical, dental, nursing and paramedical student – through various channels like e- Libraries, personal laptops, over Wi-Fi campuses… even on mobiles and interactive TV!
In future, MEdRC sees this effort as an enabler for real-time online interactivity between students and teachers – through tele-teaching, video conferencing, and interactive medical gaming.
