Dr. Medha Wadhwa currently holds the position of Scientist D at the Health Technology Assessment Regional Resource Centre, Indian Institute of Public Health in Gandhinagar. Previously, I worked as an Associate Professor from December 2021 and as an Assistant Professor since July 2013 in the Department of Healthcare Management at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth for a total of 9 years and 2 months. I possess certifications as a NABH Internal Auditor and Lean Six Sigma black, green and yellow belt. I have a strong passion for academia and have developed the curriculum for various courses in the MBA (Healthcare) program. With respect to the teaching role, I have been actively involved in instructing a range of subjects including different areas of hospital administration, quality management in hospitals, biostatistics, health technology assessment and research methodology. Furthermore, I have provided guidance to 22 postgraduate students in Healthcare Management and served as a visiting faculty member at KM Shah Dental College & Hospital, SBKS Medical Institute & Research Centre, and Sumandeep Nursing College. I have been invited as an external examiner for postgraduate examinations in healthcare/hospital administration and also serve as a subject expert on PhD Doctoral Committees. Additionally, I have held important administrative positions such as Secretary for the UNESCO Chair of Bioethics Haifa and Member Secretary for the Board of Studies.
I have completed four consultation projects focusing on quality improvement, standard operating protocols (SOPs), policy implementation, and internal audits at reputable NABH-accredited hospitals. A sought-after speaker, I have been invited as a resource faculty to participate in 56 workshops, seminars, and conferences at national and international levels, in areas of biostatistics, hospital quality management, educational technology, and evidence-based education systems. My research contributions include over 43 published research papers in indexed peer-reviewed journals, 7 book chapters, and 2 books currently under review for publication.
