Being a Consultant Pathologist at SRMC from 2001 my journey from a Tutor to Assistant Professor, then Associate Professor and now as HOD, has been a great learning experience. Over the past 25 years, I have developed a passion for my subject with special interest in Dermatopathology, GI and Hepatopathology. I am also very passionate about teaching undergraduate and postgraduates. My role as Institutional Ethics committee member, Mentorship Incharge, AETCOM Co-ordinator and currently as the Dean of Students enabled me to understand the needs of the young generation, whom we get to mentor and nurture. I am also very actively involved in Quality, as a member of the IQAC team, constantly working for improvement in the University. My role in the Faculty Development programmes and my Advanced course in Medical Education is a testimony to my passion for
education. My deep interest in research has seen my involvement with several student projects, which has resulted in over 120 publications in various indexed journals. With few research grants, as a Co-investigator, I constantly strive for improvement in scientific knowledge. I am also a reviewer of several journals that has enhanced my scientific learning.
I have been a co editor of a text book on Breast Pathology by SPRINGER publishers and contributed few more chapters in reputed books. I have also a been a resource faculty in around 110 conferences and CMEs,with many papers presented in various national and international conferences.
