From our CEO
|
|
|
|
|
After a long time, August has been a rather full month. I delivered a lecture and conducted three workshops. That is ideally how I would love my days to be.
|
|
The workshops at the KJ Somaiya Medical College and at the TNMC were both conducted with the grant money from Pfizer that we could not utilize earlier. Both events had great participation from students and faculty of the respective institutions.
|
|
The Whatsapp group of the TNMC was full of messages after the workshop thanking the organizer Dr Renuka Munshi as well as me for the workshop. One Dr Shubham asked for a workshop on Systematic Reviews & Meta analyses sometime in the future. I responded saying that my expertise stops with the sound literature searching that is required and I am not trained in the rest of the process
|
|
I was very touched when - Dr Surbhi commented - "I don't think the day is far when you will be penning down a fantastic Systematic Review - that will speak volumes on your expertise!"
|
|
For which I responded "You have more faith in my abilities than I do".
|
Bang came another response from Dr Armaity - "We all do, Madam"
TNMC docs - you have won my heart!
