Training programs: PubMed - Basics and Talks on Literature Searching
In November, we conducted the following events.
November 7 - PubMed-Basics at the Columbia Asia Referral Hospital, Bengaluru. This program was sponsored by a Pharmaceutical company, and we had about 40 participants. The feedback was very good. Two doctors who had trained abroad specially mentioned that they had not had this level of training "out there" (Australia and USA), and they were very happy to have gone through this program.
November 29 - PubMed-Basics at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Chennai. The Institute had invited us to conduct the program after one of its doctors had attended our lecture at the IASG conference in Mumbai, in October. The Institute had a sponsor for its PG students and residents, and consultants paid for their participation. We appreciate the Institute for its efforts and had a good session with 32 participants. One interesting feedback was "I wish I had had this 10 years earlier"!
