CERNER

CERNER Healthcare IT solution provider has a partnership with MCIS in terms of offering mini projects to the students of MS Medical Software. When the students are at the end of their first semester, CERNER defines projects to the students. Students are expected to work on these projects under the remote guidance from the Architects of CERNER through mail exchanges and tele-cons. There will be one faculty member from MCIS on each project. Students are supposed to ensure the completion of the working model of the project assigned to them. After the completion of the project, students have to undergo an interview conducted by CERNER. Based on the performance of the students during the implementation of the project and the interview, students are selected for the internship in CERNER.

This helps the students to learn new things, experience the way industry works, meeting the deadlines etc. which are most important aspects for an industry
