Monday Morning Lecture Series
An Enriching Academic Engagement
Each session is delivered by postgraduate students who are mentored and guided by their senior faculty members. The presentations are thoughtfully moderated, ensuring a balanced exchange of knowledge and perspectives. The sessions are known for being highly informative, interactive, and engaging, consistently drawing an audience of nearly 100 participants each week from diverse healthcare backgrounds.
The topics selected for discussion reflect current and emerging priorities in palliative care and are curated with great care by renowned senior experts in the field. These themes are chosen not only for their academic value but also for their relevance in creating awareness and enhancing clinical practice across the fraternity.
The sessions are conducted virtually via the Zoom platform, making it convenient for participants across geographies to attend and benefit from this learning initiative.
We warmly welcome all healthcare professionals and students interested in palliative care to be part of this enriching journey.
