Recently, KGMU has been tremendously increasing its international exposure, and this MoU could be yet another example of Indian medical education being an important part of international research networks. The joint venture is likely to bring about advantages for students, scholars as well as patients by fostering innovation, sharing of knowledge and getting acquainted with varied medical practices.

As the focus on international academic partnership keeps growing, the alliance between KGMU and the University of Manitoba might be instrumental in equipping medical graduates to work in healthcare systems that are globally linked and in highly sophisticated clinical research settings.
