Bengaluru Clinical and Systems Lens

This program focuses on mental health systems within a single metropolitan ecosystem. Students examine hospital and clinic structures, referral pathways, community mental health services, tele-mental health delivery, and stigma reduction efforts within an urban context.

The design emphasizes ethically structured observational exposure, systems mapping, and disciplined evidence-based dialogue around integrative and complementary practices. Students move progressively from clinical environments to community settings and digital delivery systems.

Students will:

Examine clinical mental health service delivery models and referral systems.
Map pathways from primary consultation to tertiary care within an urban network.
Analyze stigma, affordability, and workforce constraints affecting access.
Evaluate integrative healing discussions using evidence first and safety aligned frameworks.
Ask: What determines continuity of care in dense urban mental health systems?
Produce a comprehensive ecosystem map of Bengaluru mental health services with analytic commentary.
