Dr. Kartik Rangaraj (Dr. Carlo Raj) currently serves as program director for pre-clerkship education at Khalifa University - Department of Medical Sciences overseeing and integrating cross-disciplinary curriculum, empowering future generation of students for career placement and positioning them to exceed key performance indicators
Dr. Carlo is a pioneer in immersive technologies in medical pedagogy. With an extensive background in innovative medical education. Dr. Carlo spearheads transformative initiatives that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application through cutting-edge virtual, augmented, and mixed reality platforms.
His groundbreaking work extends across multiple disciplines at Khalifa University, collaborating with the College of Medical Sciences, Department of Computer Science, and the Advanced Robotics Innovation Center (ARIC) to revolutionize how medical professionals are trained for the challenges of 21st-century healthcare.
Dr. Carlo Raj received his M.D. in 2003. He then completed his United States Medical Licensing exams, and attended Ross University School of Medicine’s Masters Education Training Program (METP).
Dr. Carlo Raj has greater than two decades of experience in medical (USMLE, IFOM, EMREE) licensing coaching, and is highly sought after by students for his bodies of work.
He was a faculty member at Kentucky College of Medicine (UPIKE), and as assistant professor of pathophysiology, and was awarded the Golden Apple for multiple years for the distinction of best educator.
Concurrently, during this time Dr. Carlo was appointed as Medical Director with Falcon Physician Reviews in Dallas, Texas. When Falcon Physician Reviews was acquired by DeVry (AdTalem) and became part of Becker Healthcare USMLE review, he had the opportunity to work with such internationally renowned medical educators as Dr. Edward Goljan, Dr. Philip Tisdall and Dr. Mary Ruebush.
Following his experience at Becker Healthcare, Dr. Carlo was recruited by Lecturio, where he worked with faculty from Harvard Medical School to build a solid integrated medical curriculum that continues to be distributed around the world.
Indus Intellect Quantum Technologies in Medicine and Healthcare
Indus Intellect Quantum Technologies
IQ is poised to redefine medicine, offering transformative possibilities grounded in current research:
• Drug Discovery: Quantum simulations can model molecular interactions 1000
times faster than classical methods, reducing drug development costs by 90%
and timelines from years to months (Forbes, 2025). Our lab will prototype these
algorithms, enabling UAE pharma to lead globally.
• Personalized Medicine: Quantum machine learning will analyze genomic data
offline, tailoring treatments to individual profiles, potentially cutting mortality
rates by 30% (Kyndryl, 2025). Miniaturized devices will deliver these insights at
the point of care.
• Diagnostics: Quantum sensors will detect diseases like cancer or cardiac
issues early through bio-magnetic fields, eliminating radiation-based imaging
(Cureus, 2025). In the UAE, this could revolutionize sports medicine, predicting
athlete injuries.
• Healthcare Delivery: The future envisions no hospitals—patients as their own
care hubs with quantum-enhanced wearables and VR education platforms,
accessible offline (Medical Futurist, 2025). For UAE, this aligns with Vision
2030’s smart city goals, integrating quantum AI into Abu Dhabi’s healthcare
ecosystem.
Our lab will pioneer these advancements, starting with sports medicine VR simulations
for the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, scalable to global healthcare networks. By 2032, as
the UAE hosts Olympic-related events, our quantum-driven sports diagnostics could
become industry standards, enhancing athlete performance and recovery worldwide.
