In the midst of tough situations (the Covid effect still prevails!), many good things have also happened.
Two medical colleges have just joined us to do our courses. One is the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Guwahati, Assam. This is a very new medical college and right now just twenty faculty members are registered for the course. We held an orientation session for them and they were enthusiastic to get an idea of what all we offered in our learning platform. We discussed how they could go ahead with "learning in bytes" and have regular interactions with us. They then also discussed opening the courses to their medical students and we encouraged them all the way!
The other is AIIMS at Kalyani (West Bengal). This is also a relatively new medical college and they have just got the approval to go ahead - so the formatlies are in process.
We always love interacting with medical students and two of them in the recent past pointed out minor ambiguities in a couple of questions and then helped us reframe them for clarity. We really appreciate their efforts.
One Dr Roja - a homeopathy physician and research scholar - pointed out some changes that have happened in PubMed, since we did the recording for the course. We have made the said changes in our course site and thanked her for the same.
We do hope to see lots more community participation in keeping our courses upto date and error free. Still more - we hope that with time participants will give us great suggestions in making ithem better and better. This would be a great joint effort!
Two more medical colleges are evaluating the courses and we look forward to their joining us soon. We are also talking to groups of medical students to encourage them to do the courses.
Do send up best wishes for many institutions and individuals to sign up for our courses. We want to make a change!
