Welcome to APCRI Educational Portal

APCRI Educational Portal is an online educational platform of the Association for Prevention and Control of Rabies in India (APCRI). It is aimed at educating health professionals, students and the general public towards the APCRI vision of 'Rabies Free India by 2020'.

Every year more than 20,000 people die of rabies in India. Though Rabies is a 100% percent fatal disease, it is 100% preventable also, by effective Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for bite victim. High cost and limited availability of vaccines were a major limitation in making available the vaccines to all bite victims in India. But recently, economic, safe and effective, intra dermal (ID) route of inoculation of anti-rabies vaccines was approved by regulatory authorities. This makes PEP cost effective and enables to provide wider coverage with available quantity of vaccines.

In spite of the widespread availability of vaccines, rabies can be rooted out from India only by taking the awareness of rabies prevention to every nook and corner of the country. APCRI Educational Portal envisages to serve as a backbone to a country-wide Rabies Prevention Network comprised of Healthcare Professionals, Veterinary experts, Voluntary workers, Students and the General Public.

APCRI Educational Portal is setting new benchmarks for rabies education by conducting courses for different categories of people and providing certifications and accreditations. A list of the currently available courses are given below.
