Additional information
Looking at the globalization today, I have a vision to establish tele-radiology concept with linking to the peripheral /smaller cities as well as to the reputed hospitals abroad.
This vision is getting partly fulfilled as I am already in the process of establishing a bilateral working module with a company in Sweden in the field of Mammography.
I am also associated with a company actively involved in the field of Medical tourism dealing with orthopedic patients and patients seeking treatment in field of plastic surgery from UK, US and Canada.
Currently my company is in discussion with countries of Africa regarding sending of Insured patients for treatment to India.
Keeping pace with the academic activities has always been my passion and I wish to establish a dedicated Institute / academy to refine the skills of Ultrasonologists’ keen on learning Musculo-skeletal USG . Have already Registered Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Society (MUS) , www.musdelhi.com , as a Founder member and my vision….
MUA ( Musculoskeletal ultrasound Academy )-“The recognition of MSK USG as a valuable clinical tool is neither automatic nor guaranteed. It is earned by maintaining quality control with positive results in clinical diagnosis, a goal that is obtainable only when high educational standards are met in the production of MSK sonographers and sonologists.
There is a significant difference between education and training. Education involves the process of developing knowledge as well as skills through formal schooling. Training involves subjecting a candidate to certain exercises and instructions in order to develop proficiency at a specific task. The serious nature of MSK sonography requires individuals who wish to become MSK sonographers to be exposed to both disciplines if they are to assume the responsibilities required of them in a quality MSK ultrasound setting.
Created a web-based software with a patent in my name for the purpose of filling F-forms on –line, data audit, saving the information and for the purpose of data mining.
