• Organize CMEs, workshops, and live slide sessions bi-annually for MD (Path) students
• Ensure one research project and original article per faculty
Vision – 5 Years:
• Start flow cytometry for leukemia diagnosis
• Digitalization of pathology services and data
• Start post-doctoral fellowships and programs
• Organize faculty development programs and conferences at zonal/state/national level
• Start a pathology journal
