He is currently engaged in developing a health care blended-learning ecosystem through a network of global multiple learner stakeholders that includes medical student and health professionals from diverse disciplines. It also includes patients along with their relatives in rural and urban India so that they may benefit from this global learning toward their local caring. His primary focus is on optimization of costs in a manner that can still provide highest quality of care in low resource settings.

As all these stakeholders are computer users communicating through the web with a user name the network is also known as 'User Driven Health Care' UDHC network.

The network has currently piloted in rural and urban Indian locations with encouraging responses from patients, medical students and global health professionals connected through the web. The network eventually hopes to propagate 'patient centered learning in India such that medical students and health professionals take pride in their teamwork toward making a positive change in their patients' lives. It hopes to in this manner utilize patient centered learning to build a vital bridge between basic and clinical science professionals that may translate bedside patient needs to solutions from the bench.

Involved in teaching undergraduate and junior residents through didactic lecture classes, group discussions, problem based learning and demonstration of practical procedures. Apart from teaching duties was also involved in taking independent decisions regarding both out and inpatient management and intensive care along with performance of diagnostic echocardiographies. Visited Manipal hospital, Bangalore as a locum consultant after completion of official teaching hours in Vydehi Medical College.

Worked on a qualitative study toward Integrating Hospital-Acquired Lessons into Community Health Practice:

Asst Professor (March 2004-April 2001), Lecturer (April 2001-1999 May), dept of Medicine, Manipal College Of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal, a large  tertiary care teaching hospital recognized by the Indian and Nepal
medical councils as well as listed in the WHO directory of world
medical colleges. Actively involved in:
Teaching: In this five year tenure, taught undergraduates and junior
residents by planning and delivering didactic lectures, group
discussions and problem-based learning sessions. Also demonstrated to
the junior residents practical procedures like lumbar punctures,
pleural and ascitic taps, liver and renal biopsies as well as
venesection and insertion of central venous pressure lines via
jugular, subclavian & brachial routes, along with
endotracheal-intubation for putting patients on mechanical ventilators
and monitoring them in respiratory care units. Discussing decision
making strategies for both out and inpatient management and intensive
care with junior residents and consultant colleagues was another vital
component of this teaching learning process.
Research: In this 5 year tenure, critically reviewed and communicated
patient data generated in this hospital in the form of peer
reviewed international publications. Most of this work was in the form of case
reports and a few articles using qualitative investigational
narrative.
Management: Demonstrated an ability to work harmoniously in
the organizational structure of the hospital which values teamwork for
the overall benefit of the patient also independently managed wards
allotted along with house officers and interns. Also demonstrated the
ability to diffuse innovative ideas in patient management (some of
which has been published in international journals).
Professional development: Demonstrated an ability to work within a
system of clinical audit which reviews and monitors patient management
decisions with regard to morbidity and mortality. Also utilized skills
in diagnostic fibre optic esaphagogastroduodenoscopies (learnt during
senior residency in hepatology, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India) for
providing diagnostic esophagogastrodudenoscopy support service
performing 15-20 procedures per week along with a team of gastro
physicians and surgeons in this hospital. In the last 5 years, till
date performed more than 1000 independent unsupervised diagnostic
fibre-optic esaphagogastroduodenoscopies without any major
complications. Also utilized the training provided in diagnostic
echocardiography by this institute since january 2000, initially with
a professional echocardiologist in Calcutta and subsequently with the
professor of medicine and consultant cardiology to support the rapidly
growing cardiology services in this hospital. Performed on the average
10-15 diagnostic echocardiographies per week and reported them
independently. Also gained a fair understanding of ultrasound and
utilized it in performing ultrasound guided procedures like fine
needle aspiration of tumors, abscess with gratifying results.
An initial interest in wanting to handle all the individual organ
components in the human system was supported by this 5 year working
environment and this led to an advanced overall knowledge of internal
medicine and a decision to remain a lifelong internist physician.

A large referral and teaching hospital in India deemed to be of national
importance. Actively involved in management of acute and
chronic liver diseases, performing liver biopsies and assisting in
endoscopies & ERCPs. Submitted a few papers for publication.
Teaching and research: Actively involved in teaching junior residents
in the form of bedside clinics as well as on the job. Participated in
various clinical meetings and journal clubs by presenting as well as
chairing a few. Published a paper on "Endoscopic Variceal Ligation in
pregnancy", in Jan 2000 in the journal GI Endoscopy and one on
endoscopic sclerotherapy of gastric variceal bleeding with
n-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology
(2002).

chemotherapies, intrathecals, and inserted central venous pressure
lines via jugular, subclavian & brachial routes, apart from
venesection. Intubated and put patients on mechanical ventilators and
monitored them in respiratory care units. Also did lumbar punctures,
pleural and ascitic taps as well as liver and renal biopsies.
Teaching and research:
During junior residency participated in various group discussions,
seminars, grand round, clinical meetings, clinico-pathological
conferences, mortality meetings by attending most of the sessions as
well as presenting and chairing a few.
Completed a thesis on "The predictors of response to endoscopic
dilation in corrosive strictures of esophagus." This was accepted in
June1997 as a requisite for the MD degree.
