INTRODUCTION
Dear Delegate,
The Department of Haematology and Department of Transfusion Medicine & Immunohematology, Christian Medical College, Vellore are organizing the 15th Annual Post Graduate CME in Haematology from 21st to 22nd Oct, 2020.
In view of the on-going COVID-19 pandemics there have been concerns about holding large conferences / meetings. It is unlikely that this problem will resolve, in the near future. Hence the organizing committee has decided to make this a virtual meeting from 21st to 22nd October, 2020
The aim of this CME is to expose physicians in post graduate training programs to the field of Haematology. We anticipate that participants of this CME will have a better understanding of both laboratory and clinical aspects of Haematology at the end of this program. We also hope that by attending these CME physicians in training will be sensitized to the opportunities of Haematology as a career both in the laboratory and in the clinic.
The CME is designed to include didactic lectures on important topics followed by a tour and demonstration in the laboratories. There will be time to discuss all aspects of Haematology with experts in the field. There will also be an opportunity to discuss the potential for training for this specialty and the career prospects in this country. The participant should come well prepared to derive maximum benefit and interact with peers and teachers. Towards this some summary slides of the planned talks and education material is available on the web site, selected participants are strongly encouraged to study this prior to attending the CME.
This course is aimed for postgraduate students in their final year of medicine, pediatrics and pathology training. The program has received accreditation for 25 CME points from the Dr. MGR Medical University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
We request you to confirm your participation at the earliest. This brochure and registration form can also be downloaded from the www.pgcmehematology.net
The details of the online link of the webinar will be provided once you register for this event.
Registration fee and 80% attendance is mandatory for those requiring a CME credit certificate. Registration is free but mandatory for all others.
