Workshop overview
The International Institute of Quality Accreditation & Rankings (IIQA) presents a practical and data-oriented workshop on “NIRF for Medical Institutions”, designed to help medical institutions understand the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) Medical methodology, organise institutional data, identify performance gaps and develop a structured improvement roadmap. The workshop focuses on the five broad NIRF Medical parameters: Teaching, Learning & Resources; Research and Professional Practice; Graduation Outcomes; Outreach and Inclusivity; and Perception. It connects these parameters with institutional data, evidence, performance analysis, benchmarking and strategic improvement. Participants will learn how to interpret the ranking framework, map institutional data to relevant metrics, validate submissions, identify priority gaps and develop parameter-wise action plans.
