My Vision for UAIOA
Academic calendar: would consist
of basic and advanced courses in various subspeciality round the
year. Workshops (Live surgery/cadaveric / sawbone), symposiums,
seminars and PG instructional course would be part of academic
calendar thus re-enforcing academics in the state of
Uttarakhand. These activities would be tailored to the need of
resident doctors and practicing orthopaedic surgeons.
Outreach programme: Uttarakhand
is geographically challenging state and as an organisation
committed to improving health care in the field of Orthopaedics,
out-reach programme would give us an excellent window of
opportunity to serve people in their backyard.
Journal: Journal of state chapter
showcases the quality work in the field of basic and clinical
research. The focus would be on improving the indexing and
bringing out more issues per year.
Membership drive: strength of any
organisation lies in the numbers. New online membership with
payment portal is one step towards improving membership. We are
in the process of making UAIOA website more informative and
technologically up to the mark so that seamless viewing,
downloading and payments are possible.
Collaborative research: Research
is cornerstone of any robust academic body. Together we can find
solution to problems unique to our state and formulate
preventive guidelines.
Fellowship programme: short-term
fellowships, exchange fellowship programmes in one of the
tertiary care Hospital/Institute would allow residents and
practicing orthopods in honing surgical skills in area of
interest.
I am truly blessed to have an excellent team comprising of Gen
Secretary, Joint secretaries, Treasurer and executives who are
entrusted to make UAIOA one of the best state chapters of IOA.
As we stand on the cusp of a transformative period for UAIOA, I
am deeply thankful for your unwavering support and commitment to
our shared vision. Let us move forward, as a united Uttarakhand
family, forging new horizons in Orthopaedic care, research,
education and most importantly, friendship.
