PGCME – 2023
Comments & Verbatim
Information presented at course will help me improve
- My knowledge about scope of haematology as a DM career option
- My understanding of prognosis and management of haematological disorders
- My orientation to on ground events and also better appreciation of the terms used in daily patient care. Basics to advanced. I have more clarity of thought and depth of understanding, filled in gap through Q&A.
- Diagnosis of patient with disease at an earlier stage. Have an overall idea of how the clinical setup functioning
- My understanding of the disease, interpretation of lab reports and therapeutic approach, the subject and the quality of my work
- My day-to-day practice with respect to evaluation and diagnosis. Improve diagnostic Skills earlier before relying to lab results
The material presented will be incorporated in my practice in the following way
- To avoid unnecessary investigations.
- Reference for future. My final year exam. To revise the concepts discussed, and foundation for further learning. Seminars, paper presentations and examinations
- The algorithm of workup till my setup permits and timely referral for the right patients for better management
- For better diagnosis and knowledge about recent advances
- Daily patient care. Precautionary measures usually under emphasised will be taken care, Teach my juniors
- Procedures can be used as standard methods that can be incorporated into my working
- It will improve the perspective of seeing the haematology and transfusion medicine and various battery of tests and the step-by-step approach to come final diagnosis.
- I will evaluate the cases as per the Approaches provided in CME. Follow up patient response
and treatment details. - Careful use of laboratory services and when to order and look for abnormalities in a clinically correlating way rather than doing as a whole
- Learning about cytogenetics and PCR are very useful. By thinking multiple differential diagnosis before arriving conclusion
I have the following recommendations for improvement of the program
- Observation course . Group discussion about any topic
- Topics more on recent advances and more explanation on blood bank
- Please do keep online mode for ease of distant participants willing to attend
- Some Speakers are too fast to grab the information
- More of theoretical add Little more practical points
- Hard copy materials can be distributed
- To conduct the program on the first day of the week
- Some sessions bit advanced for post graduates
- Make more case discussion than theory
- Time schedule can be adapted to three full days and sessions after 6 pm can be avoided.
- The case discussion at the end of each day was very useful. Kindly include case presentation and discussion for the common cases we encounter in daily practice in the future CME.
I would suggest the following topics for future CME
- Elaborative Algorithm and Approach starting from CBC to NGS - End to End
- Haemolytic anaemia. More paediatric haematology
- Basic approach and treatment of most common haematological disorders
- Myelodysplastic syndrome, PMF , PCV, ET, APML
- Interpretation of bone marrow biopsy. Please include more bone marrow biopsy and aspiration slides.
- Central nervous system disorders. Vit B12 various presentations
- Workshop for Bone marrow. Hands on workshop ( wet workshop )
- As the transfusion medicine is a budding branch, not many of the teaching institutes have all facility to explore machines and tests. CMC being the best for research could invoke interest in fellows by giving a chance to perform actual tests rather seeing them on screen.
- Viral haemorrhagic fevers and its blood picture
- Practical difficulty what a physician faces in haematology and how to overcome that in
diagnosing and treating cases from the experience of great faculties here. - How to prepare to stand alone in diagnosis after pg
- Diagnosis of haematological malignancies in resource poor settings
Additional Comments/Suggestions:
- Amazing work by all the faculties and technical personnel. Everything went well. The laboratory session was very informative and appealing.
- Kindly upload the latest presentations on the website. As the topics were fast, difficult to take notes.
- We came across lot of haematological cases in residency. will apply the valuable points learned here.
- Very well organized and neatly arranged CME.
- The program was up to the level and very knowledgeable
