Projects: a) Academic collaborator with University of Chicago funded by the Reliance foundation, Mumbai in developing a case based medical education platform called i-Human. http://www.i-human.com/case-authors-and-reviewers/


b) Developing a health care blended learning ecosystem through a network of global multiple learner stakeholders that includes medical students (on electives: http://promotions.bmj.com/jnl/bmj-case-reports-student-electives-2/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4587042/ ) 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. The project’s 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. More here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26123908 http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/lecture/lec53081/001.htmhttp://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-user-driven-healthcare/41022

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.

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.

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.

medicine and a decision to remain a lifelong internist physician.
