Message from Bhaskar Tripuraneni :

Dear GMCANA alumnus,

I would like to request you to pass on the following information to your friends who may be visiting India. Spring and summer are fast approaching. Many of us may be planning trips to India.

If you or one of your colleagues from GMCANA are planning to go to India, I would like to urge you to consider giving CME presentations. If you can send me an e-mail (preferable) or phone number I will be happy to coordinate the CME lecture in GMC/GGH.

We have a lap top (Computer Note book) along with LCD projector, Digital camera, Slide projector, with all the accessories in GMC/GGH

Presentations can be prepared either in floppy disk or CD or regular slides or any other storage format like smart media cards etc.

If you give me advance notice, I can arrange the time and date of the lecture to fit into the time constraints of our alumni member's trip to India

If you like a ' Certificate of completion of CME as a Speaker', we can arrange that too.

I am working on getting formal IMA recognized CME credits

I am also trying to get a list of CME topic needs of the junior faculty/house staff/PG's to whom the lectures can be geared

I am maintaining a database of all the CME lectures . I will be reporting quarterly regarding the activities to this group.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation in making our CME program successful and meaningful.
