VHS Multispeciality Hospital,
Rajiv Gandhi Saalai,Chennai - 6000113,India
The institution has been a recognized postgraduate training centre by the National Board of Examinations. Since 1984, there have been 42 postgraduates who have undergone strenuous training of 5 years and obtained post graduate qualifications (National Board examinations) and gone on to serve different parts of the country.The institution is currently allowed one candidate per year and the course is now for 6 years. The candidates are selected by the National Board on the basis of an all-India examination and counseling done centrally.
In addition, the department provides an educational opportunity to General surgery postgraduates Neuro-anaesthesia training MS neuroscience students and B.Sc. and M.Sc. Nursing students
The best way to teach and learn surgery was to watch live surgery being performed and to have an active interaction between the surgeon and the watching delegates. This way, there would be a good discussion, as well as the chance for surgeons to see, discuss and learn from other surgeons.
The workshops extend over three days, over the second weekend of September. Two guest surgeons and our surgeons for the faculty. Each workshop starts with lectures on the relevant anatomy and with clinical discussions. This is followed by presentation of the cases to be operated that morning. The live video transmission from the operation theatre allows for the discussion to start from the OT setting, positioning, incision, to anesthetic requirement etc. A two way audio system enables the delegates to directly ask the surgeon questions regarding the surgery. There is therefore an excellent discussion which carries on throughout.
The workshops also include ALNC oration, by eminent physicians.
