Message From Prof. Rajaram Pagadala, Chancellor of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University.

Healthcare Professionals Training is in making Leaders of Tomorrow, at SBVU is Unique - 2016 Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, a Deemed University (SBVU) made remarkable achievements and earned the deserved status by all the accreditation councils. Over the years, the SBVU also attained not only National but also earned a place in the International academic environment. Innovative fields of application of Music and Yoga were added for teaching and researching to aid quick recovery of disease and disability. The credit goes to the untiring faculty and staff encouraged by the management. The facilities at SBVU includes world class center for Inter-disciplinary research attracting scientists from all over. Not satisfied with the laid down standards management constantly explored various internationals methods to be adopted tailoring to the needs of the Indian situation. This achievement has attracted international universities from UK, USA and Europe to seek collaboration. It stance is distinctive, in the list of Institutions granted by various agencies that assess and grant accreditation. The involvement of students and faculty in dealing with community based healthcare services is commendable. In the community, research on multimorbidity helps take measures for prevention of diseases like diabetes, hypertension and obesity, the faculty involves in imparting health education to adopt healthy life styles. The thrust on teaching and training is fundamentally learned to discharge their duties sincerely and effectively. Make a continuous habit of acquiring knowledge to serve the suffering humanity better. Thus, we aimed at not only making physicians of tomorrow but leaders in the community capable of managing and also be able to control with authority, the healthcare services to be delivered. These practices make SBVU a unique institution.

Message From Prof. K.R.Sethuraman, Vice Chancellor of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University.

After the heady success of achieving NAAC A-grade in November last year, the current year has been a sobering watershed year due to major changes in student intake, ushered in by the NEET2016. All the private educational institutions in India needed to make major adjustments in their structure and functions to accommodate the new socio-political and economic realities. At SBVU, since an excellent infrastructure for a large scale operation has been put in place by the visionary Chairman of SBECPT, Shri. M.K.Rajagopalan, the medical and dental institutions could cope with these adjustments without too much difficulty. The faculty members are infact pleased with the ‘first NEET intake’ as the cohort of students seen to be a performance-oriented lot. The results of university examinations have been quite acceptable. The initiative by the supplementary examinations for year-1 MBBS within 6-8 weeks of the main exam has successfully brought the referred batch back to the mainstream. Over the next four years, the medical faculty would have no “supplementary batches”. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences in forging ahead, thanks to the centres of yoga therapy (CYTER), Music therapy (CMTER), and Health Professions Education (HPE). University of IOWA has sent five dental Student for short-term observership to IGIDS. This is likely to expand in future. KGNC is as always, rock-solid in its execution of academic programmes and the documentation. Our Central Inter-Disciplinary Research Facility (CIDRF) has got a multi-crore grant from the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) Government of India to set up a regional centre for Small Animal Research. Our efforts in scaling upto meet the expectations of NAAC in 2015 has also helped us in the NIRF ranking process initiated for the first time during 2015-’16. SBVU has been placed among the top 100 universities of India (Rank 93) in the very first NIRF listing released in 2016. In the subcomponent of Teaching- Learning Resources, SBVU secured 26th rank, which is highly satisfying. We are motivated to perform even better in future. In view of several positive developments, we are pleased to compile the annual report of 2016 and place it on record. With the performance oriented academic and administrative staff working in sync to achieve the vision of the top leadership, SBVU and its constituent units are poised for greater growth in the years to come.

Message From Prof. A.R. Srinivasan, Registrar of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth University.

Year 2016 had been yet another busy year at Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, in the realms of Academics, Research and patient care. A few cardinal happenings marked Year 2016 in the annals of SBV. To mention a few:NIRF ranking 2016 that was bestowed on SBV (93), with a high ranking in Teaching-Learning Resources (23rd); Starting of the unique academic programmes based on CBCS, viz. M.Sc. Medical Music Therapy, M.Phil. Yoga Therapy and M.Phil. Health Professions Education; Recognition of CMTER by Foreign Universities that has culminated in an MoU with IMC University of Applied Sciences, Krems, Austria for doctoral programme in Music Therapy and recognition bestowed by International association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) on CYTER faculty. More of quality and value added academic programmes are on the anvil. With the concerted efforts of everyone at SBV, it may not be an exaggeration to state that SBV would romp home with greater success in year 2017.

University Communique ▶▶ From VC’s Desk Smartphone Addiction vitiates Professional Etiquette

common scene in our meetings and conferences nowadays: most of the audience peering in to their smart phones, while the unfortunate speaker tries desperately to make eye-contact and engage the audience. Similarly, while a patient tries to communicate with the doctor, the latter repeatedly looks at the mobile screen after every beep and ping it makes and tries to multi task. When the customary announcement is made to switch off the mobile phones in a conference hall, it is to request the audience that they adhere to the etiquette of listening to the speaker. Some of us are rude in not doing that and periodically interrupt the proceedings with loud jingles a.k.a. ring-tones; a few of us answer the phone in the hall itself and create a ‘parallel proceedings’ for those in the vicinity; a few keep texting or playing games. If academic staff members including seasoned senior professionals behave this way, how can we expect the ‘millennial generation’ who are ‘digital natives’ to listen to us when we teach them? Features of Smartphone addiction yy Feeling anxious whenever you do not have your phone in your physical possession. yy Constantly checking the phone for new texts, coupled with the compulsion to respond immediately. yy “Phantom cell-phone vibration syndrome” exists and it is a symptom of addiction (You felt phone vibrate but when you check the phone, it is a false alarm). yy You fake listening and you have no idea what the person in front of you is talking about because you multi-task, checking your WhatsApp/FaceBook page, tweets and texts. If frequently checking your phone has become your habit, or if you feel restless when your phone is not with you,

you may be a victim of technology addiction, the “always connectedness syndrome”. Combating Smartphone addiction yy Do not read emails/tweets/WhatsApp messages the first thing in the morning. yy Set limits on when and where you let yourself use the devices. yy Set a good example for your junior staff and students. yy Go offline periodically (similar to fasting to give GI tract a rest) Let us begin by improving our behaviour in SAF meetings.

Key messages to aspiring Heads of Department (HOD) 1.Welcome to middle management The HOD‘s Chair is a middle management administrative position. You are the interface between faculty, residents, and staff (on the one hand) and the Dean’s Office (on the other). That’s all it is. Periodically remind yourself, “I am middle management in administrative capacity.” 2. Know your institution Every institution has its own work-culture and therefore, different institutions would have different expectations for the HOD. HODs’ authority at private institutions tends to be far greater than at public institutions; they can be more authoritarian. Formal performance reviews are common in public institutions, but may be absent at private institutions. 3. Learning curve for being HOD HODs are chosen because they have a track record of success in their earlier positions. So is success as the departmental chair-person assured? Unfortunately, not always! Recall ‘Peter Principle’ (or read up), which says: “Everyone rises to their level of incompetence.” That is why an academician’s

annual Report 2016

professional success in teaching, patient-care and/or research may not extend in to successful Headship, if she/he has already crossed the peak of her/his capability. Furthermore, being HOD is quite different from anything tackled before as an academic staff. The important thing of a new HOD is to realize that there is a learning curve. On the job growth can occur, if one genuinely realizes that one has a lot to learn. 4. Getting to know your predecessor Most often, your predecessor HOD will remain in the Department as a senior faculty member, and one who has been through it all of it before you. Your predecessor may view you with ambivalence. Your successes may not generate admiration, and your failures may not create much support or sympathy. Treat your predecessor with due respect. Set up meetings, lunches or breakfasts, to catch up. Let your predecessor initially mentor you; nothing is more flattering to your predecessor! Mentoring will engage your predecessor and give him/her a stake in your success; you will have an ally, which is a good thing, especially in the private institutions. 5. Understand how you will be evaluated

an HOD and his/her dept look good, or look terrible. As HOD, you will be spending more time with them. You need to be supportive of your support staff and create a good working atmosphere. 8. Alienation is easy, reconciliation is hard Most of us are used to having casual conversation with our colleagues in the Department. Now that you are the Head, you will find that your words are taken far more seriously; some your casual comments are not so casual anymore. Academic physicians generally have fragile egos and are easily upset by these. Bottom line: As a responsible HOD, Try and be politically correct, even while making casual remarks. 9. You can never have too many meetings You will establish a departmental ambience, whether you intend to or not. Ideally, that ambience will encompass collegiality, respect, and integrity. The best way to establish the right climate is through meetings. This is HOD’s major work: meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Not emails but meetings! A meeting, which is boring, is actually a good sign: it means that important issues are being addressed, and that there is seriousness of purpose in issues.

What are the institution’s criteria for a successful HOD? The review criteria may well be available on paper, for your own perusal. Or it may require a detailed discussion with the Dean. You will need to come to grips with your institution’s review criteria, even if they are vastly different from what you think they should be. What you want to avoid is a situation where by your own criteria you are doing a great job, but by the institution’s criteria and expectations, you are not.

10. The key to recruitment

6. Know who your role models really are

11. When it’s time to go

You have your own role model for HOD, of course. There are HODs who you admire, respect, and wish to imitate. You will also tend to see events through the prism of your own in the department under your former HOD. It would take effort to come out of that and make your own mark.

You may have started as HOD with a fixed time frame for the position. But the perks, the sense of entitlement, the stipend, and the ‘superficial deference’ can prove to be addictive. What started as a short stint slowly extends to be a ‘life sentence’. But the reality is that only you know if you are enjoying the experience. If excitement is replaced by dread and boredom, it is perhaps time to go. It is also essential to remember that you are working at the pleasure of the Dean. If the Dean really is no longer pleased, your tenure as HOD is over.

Your attention will focus on your faculty, your residents, and medical students. But the most easily overlooked members of your Department are your support staff. They can make

7. Support staff, a key to HOD’s success

Probably the most exciting thing about being HOD is recruiting. New people, new energy, new ideas, and maybe new problems! Many talented recruits turn out to be ‘worldclass headaches’. In politically correct words, they are “high maintenance” faculty. They don’t need HOD, they need treatment! When recruiting, trust your gut instinct.

Vision for 21st Century Education A 7-year old girl used a computer to compose this philosophical statement: “The biggest thing about someone is imagination. Before you can be something, you must imagine it. “ (Paraphrased from a quotation of Seymour Papert, the Guru of Constructionism) Scientist Salk imagined a way to eliminate polio from this planet; not a treatment to relieve it. President Kennedy imagined a man on the moon; not just a faster jet. At SBV, let us imagine an institution that revolutionizes learning for the 21st century; not one that recycles learning as we have known it in the past century. Let us imagine our colleges to be places in which students and teachers excitedly and joyfully stretch themselves to their limits in pursuit of goals set by their own visions; not a meek one that that just aims to make apathetic students satisfy minimal required standards. Let us imagine our colleges to be places where every student will have a vision: A proud vision of self as a powerful life-long learner, A vibrant vision of a worth-while life ahead, An optimistic vision of a society to be proud of, and The skills and the ethic needed to follow these visions.

Given this, the rest will follow.

Does the client: Know what to expect and when? yy Have the right information at the right time? yy Know whom to contact for his/her specific needs? yy Know what to do if things donot go as planned or as smoothly as expected? yy Get informed promptly and adequately if something goes wrong or if there is a delay? yy Get acknowledgment of requests or complaints submitted to us? Do our clients’ interactions within our organization: yy Work as we intend them to work? yy Flow in a way that’s logical and easy to follow? yy Provide the right level of interaction at the right time? yy Give the right information? yy Are weproviding the client too much or too little information? Is our organization: yy Efficient and effective? yy Organized, with clear responsibilities for client interaction? yy Or are we confusing to the client with too many options or departments? Based on an honest introspection, we could decide what we need to collectively achieve in order to attract more and more clients in to our organization for education or clinical service. Let this be our focus for 2017 to collectively forge ahead in terms of client satisfaction. (Ref: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/ newSTR_85.htm)

The feedback revealed that the students found this session as very useful (55%) and useful (43%). yy Group Counseling : a) A group of 8 students from one batch and 15 students from another batch of MGMCRI underwent group counseling for lack of sufficient attendance. The intervention enabled the students to share their difficulties with open mind and needed guidance given to modify their behavior.b) A group of 5 students from a batch of KGNC were given group counseling to overcome the difficulties in academic concentration. The intervention revealed that the students were having stress due to various personal reasons. In the follow up session, a group therapy was done using “Dance Movement Psychotherapy” to overcome stress. Body movement is one of the simplest methods of stress buster and the students were taught to use it on daily basis. This would help them to study with ease and concentrate more. c) A group of 5 students from a different batch of KGNC were given group counseling to overcome the behavioral problem they have had. This intervention was felt very useful by the participants as they shared their feelings in a safety environment. Behavior modification suggested for further management. d) A group of 3 staffs of MGMCRI took group counseling to overcome negative thoughts. Positive affirmation practice on daily basis is an effective tool to replace the negative thoughts. The staffs were given Alpha Affirmations Audio Therapy to experience the benefits as a group. They were guided to affirm on daily basis to replace the old negative thoughts into new positive ones. Daily affirmative practice reinforces the new practice and gets anchored at the unconscious level for permanent change. At the end the participants expressed the healthy feeling experienced by them during the audio session. yy Speaker Address -Yoga for Mind and Body: On 25th May, 2016 the Senior Student Welfare Officer gave a talk on “Yoga for Mind and Body” as a part of Yoga Fest -2016, organized by CYTER as a prelude to International Day of Yoga 2016.

WOMENS DAY CELEBRATIONS The Women’s Cell at Sri BalajiVidyapeeth, Deemed University organized various events in commemoration of the International Women’s Day which falls on 7th March of every year.On March 5th, famous orators and public speakers, Smt. BharathiBaskar and Shri. Raja participated in a interactive session on “Pledge for Parity”. Shri Raja, in his speech mentioned that, the women empowerment in the past 50 years is encouraging in India. The census by the English in 1710 revealed that the educational status in our country was below 0.01 percent whereas today this scenario has totally changed. But we need a long way to go ahead in case of child

marriages and education for girls in rural areas. In India and in some parts of the world, the practice of banning women from using mobile phones and appearing in public places must be addressed. He also didn’t fail to mention that, it is the women in many instances prove to be a barrier to their own empowerment. Smt. BharathiBaskar in her address praised SBV for the feedback imitative from the girl students regarding their safety in the campus. While mentioning about the sex ratio in Pondicherry, in which the women out rank the men, shows the safety of women in the territory. This is a land mark feature of women in Pondicherry. She also added that the Women’s Day celebrations should continue till the discrimination against the female gender is eradicated. This state can be called the real Women Empowerment. She also agreed with Shri. Raja that women stood against their own freedom and empowerment. She recalled the 12 year struggle a girl who was attached by concentrated acid on her face underwent in our country to ban the easy availability of concentrated acids in our country. Life is a journey in which the male and the female have to have smooth and balanced journey. She recalled the day which more than 1000 women employees of a spinning mill in the United States of America protested against their 14 hours of daily work and the day fell on 7th March which latter came to be observed all over the world as International Women’s Day. Today in our country, at the entry level of any profession, there is 50 percent male and 50 percent female, in the secondary level it shrinks to 30 percent female and the rest male and in the managerial level, it still shrinks to 6 percent women and 94 percent male. This scenario has to change in our country to achieve the real women empowerment.During the celebrations, Life Time Achievement Awards were given to Mrs. Amir Ali Khan Asmath, Nursing Superintendent, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and to Mrs. Shree Shah, Director of Sathya Special School, Pondicherry, Earlier, Dr. UshaCarounanidy, Principal, Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences welcomed the gathering.

Parent Teachers Meeting at MGMCRI

Personality development is an essential component for the doctors. Doctors are valued highly for their dedication, sincerity, humanity and simplicity. Above all honesty is the quality that makes doctors be valued next to God by the Patients. The initial training workshop focused on the development of the above mentioned qualities during their training, as well as career and beyond. This becomes a part of Life Long Learning (LLL) tool. 2.Belief change Workshop - 23.02.2016 Most of the people find it difficult to overcome their negative thoughts and even to admit it overtly. Before being professionals every individual has to be recognized as a human being in order to deal with their personal difficulties. This training focused on guiding the Interns to change their negative belief into positive, through the daily practice of positive affirmation technique including reading motivational quotes. 3. Overcoming stress through Sound Healing - 23.03.2016 Stress is part and parcel of human life – especially more among professionals. Realizing the importance of dealing with stress in their life now and also throughout, the final module was introduced. The purpose of this module is to enable the Interns to understand the Physical, Psychological and Emotional causes and consequences of stress and ways of handling it through sound healing techniques. A Sound Healing treatment is deeply relaxing. Every cell in our body enjoys sound, and also responds well to the sound. Music can calm the nervous system and improve metabolism. Various methods of Sound healing (Ex: Vocal Expression, Using Instruments, Music therapy etc.,) were demonstrated to the participants to release stress.

mahatma gandhi medical college and research institute

Message From Prof. M. Ravishankar, DA., MD (Anaesthesiology), FRCP (Glasgow) Dean, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute.

Last year MGMCRI set one of its goals as ‘to ascend up to the top of medical colleges in INDIA’. Lot of effort has gone into achieving them. To start, with a team of educationist worked in collaboration with Partners Medical International (PMI) to reorganize the curriculum delivery. The task force set up for the purpose under the leadership of VP (Curriculum) Dr. Mahalakshmi.V.N, has come out with a curriculum design named ‘STEPS’. ‘S’ standing for student centrie, ‘T’ for Trans disciplinary, ‘E’ for early experiential exposure to clinical science and community. ‘P’ for problem orientated learning and ‘S’ for self directed learning. The effort was fruitful in introducing the STEPS curriculum for the First year students joined in September 2016 and it is being successfully implemented. The efforts are on to put the second year curriculum in line and hopes to introduce it in 2017. Towards developing self confidence and leadership qualities, the student council of MGMCRI had been given the opportunity to organise the Inter medical sports and cultural festival ‘SPECTRA’ under the guidance of faculty. This task they have executed well and all praise for the emerged leaders of the students. Hope this trend will continue.

the scarce literature on the interaction of drug use and music appreciation indicate a lack of research on this cultural practice and its relation to addiction and mood regulation strategies. For some, but not for all, drug use may result in disorderly conduct and addictive behavior. Some rehabilitation centers do not allow music listening, as certain music experiences made under the influence may become a cue for drug craving. For rehabilitative means music therapy offers retraining of cued music experiences and state-depended recall of drug induced strong emotions in music Addictive processes narrow and recalibrate pathways and conscious choices for reward, but being involved in pleasing musical activities may help to reframe the narrowed focus of attention onto alternative opportunities of reward processing. Doing music therapy may offer new strategies for retraining narrowed attention onto externally sought strong emotional processes and helps to break the cycle of distress”.

available evidence has uncovered the remarkable complexity of interaction within the context of the neurohormonal construct. As we stand at a crossroad in HF and begin to fervently pursue non-neurohormonal therapeutic targets, we must also direct attention at navigating the multifaceted labyrinth of the neurohormonal model that has led to the current imbroglio.

World Health Day (7th April 2016) SAF organized Symposium on ‘Management of Diabetes Mellitus’ to commemorate the “World Health Day” held on 6th April 2016. On this occasion two in- house guest talks were organized by SAF. Every year, the World Health Organization selects a priority area of global public health concern as the theme for World Health Day, which falls on 7 April, the birthday of the Organization. The theme for World Health Day 2016 is diabetes, a non communicable disease (NCD) directly impacting millions of people of globally, mostly in low and middle income countries. World Health Day 2016 objectives are: Increase awareness about the rise in diabetes, and its staggering burden and consequences, in particular in low income and middle income countries, Trigger a set of specific, effective and affordable actions to tackle diabetes. These will include steps to prevent diabetes and diagnose, treat and care for people with diabetes and Launching the first WHO Global report on diabetes, which will describe the burden and consequences of diabetes.

Personalized medicine for diabetes (PMFD) involves use of genetic information of a person to tailor strategies for preventing, detecting, treating, or monitoring their diabetes. Their usage in clinical practice consists of 3 steps. First, identification of genes and biomarkers for diabetes as well as for obesity .the greatest risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Second, selection of individualized therapies (which drug? what dose? which diet? Drug least likely to cause side effects or toxicity? genetic profile?). Third, measurement of circulating biomarkers of diabetes to monitor the response to prevention or therapy. The response to sulphonylureas were found to be influenced by ABCC8 and KCNJ11 genes which encode sulphonylureas receptors. Glimepiride and metformin response was reported to be modulated by CYP2C9 and OCT1 genetic polymorphism respectively. Besides the above genes, microRNA are also emerging as important players in the management of diabetes mellitus. There are specific miRNA for each function in diabetes namely control the insulin synthesis. miR.375, miR.30d; control insulin granule exocytosis. miR.9, miR.29a/b/c, miR.375, miR.124a, miR.34a; alter ATP/ADP ratio in insulin secretion (miRNA.15a, miR.9, miR.29a, b.); control pancreatic cell fate and pancreas formation.miR.375, miR.21, miR.34a, and miR.146a and insulin resistance.miR.222, miR.27a, miR125a, miR.195, and miR.103. More research is needed to translate the benefits of genomic research into clinical practice. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A New Dimension by Prof. MohamedHanifah, Professor of Medicine, MGMCRI

Special SAF guest lecture on ‘Conservation of Biodiversity” – 12. 08. 16 A guest lecture was organized by the Scientific and Academic Forum (SAF), Medical Education Unit, MGMCRI on 12th August 2016 between 3. 00 pm to 4. 00 pm. The President of SAF, Dr. ParthaNandi, welcomed the gathering. Considering the immense importance of biodiversity in mega-diverse country like India, we at MGMCRI as per the guidelines from the National Biodiversity Authority, Govt. of India, are initiating proactive action towards the conservation and sustainable use of our biodiversity. To achieve this goal the SAF Team invited Dr. S. Jayakumar, M. Sc. Ph. D., Postdoc. (Yonsei University, Seoul, S. Korea ), Associate Professor Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences School of Life Sciences, Pondicherry University to talk on “Conservation of Biodiversity”. The essence of his talk: “Biodiversity is nothing but the variety and variability among the living beings on the earth surface. Biodiversity, the basic life-supporting system, helps the living beings directly and indirectly by many ways. In recent times, the pressure on biodiversity from the human community is unprecedented. Increasing human population, poverty, development at the cost of natural resources, mining, forest fire, extraction of various raw materials for industries, pollution, and global warming pose a serious threat to

biodiversity. As per the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature), more and more species are now being added to the red categories and many species are extinct before even being discovered and described. We have lost several wild relatives of floral and faunal species in the past centuries. If the degradation of biodiversity occurs at the same pace, the future generation will be in deep trouble. The destruction of biodiversity will have a cascading effect such as change in species composition, removal of keystone species, unhealthy habitats for many animals, collapse in ecological niches, change in ecosystem functions, and so on. It is predicted that in the coming century, the composition of tropical forest species will change a lot owing to a warming climate. These changes in nature will have a serious impact on agriculture, monsoon, human health and society on the whole. Thus, it is the right time to take a decision to use the natural resources sustainably for the betterment of the future. If there is no biodiversity on earth, life will be miserable”. The talk was very effective that members in the forum took a resolution to conserve the biodiversity in their own small way upholding the slogan, ‘Save the planet’. SAF Secretary, Dr. Uma AN, proposed the vote of thanks. About 200 faculty and residents participated in this program.

two anesthesiologists are involved, with up to four supporting nurses. The surgical procedure is very demanding and ranges from 4 to 18 hours depending on outcome. Numerous anastomoses and sutures, and many disconnections and reconnections of abdominal and liver tissue, must be made for the transplant to succeed, requiring an eligible recipient and a wellcalibrated live or cadaveric donor match. People with either acute or chronic liver failure may need a liver transplant to survive. Acute liver failure (ALF) happens suddenly. Dr. ug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the leading cause of ALF in the United States. The most common cause of DILI is an overdose of acetaminophen (Tylenol). Chronic liver failure, also called end-stage liver disease, progresses over months, years, or decades. Most often, chronic liver failure is the result of cirrhosis, a condition in which scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue until the liver cannot function adequately”.

One of the areas of intervention identified as a follow up of SBV’s international collaborative program with Partners Medical International (PMI), Boston is the introduction of CBME at the Postgraduate level beginning with the 2016 entry batch. As a prelude to the introduction of CBME, the MEU and SBV AHEAD came together and launched a series of three workshops for the senior faculty of MGMCRI to sensitize them on the concept of CBME.

Workshop 1 (14.03.2016): Defining Competencies and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) The first segment was dealt by Prof K.R. Sethuraman, VC who discussed the concept of Competencies and their relation with Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). The participants were familiarized with the Competency grid proposed by Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), USA under six heads. Further they identified the EPAs in their respective disciplines vis-à-vis the mile stones to be achieved during the PG training, e.g., PG entry and completion of PG training. The workshop included a brief introduction to the Competency grid suggested by ACGME and two buzz sessions. Buzz 1 involved the participants to comment on the given list of EPAs and to suggest the level to be expected from a resident at the time of joining PG course at MGMCRI (level 1: Only observation; level 2: can do under strict supervision; level 3: can do under loose supervision; level 4: can do independently; level 5: has expertise to teach others). Buzz 2 focused on identification of competency domains involved in the given EPA under the six domains of Competency: Medical Knowledge (MK), Patient Care (PC), Inter personal skills and communication (ISC), Professionalism (P), Practice Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI) and System Based Practice (SBP).

Workshop 2 (21.03.2016): Multiple Source Feedback (MSF) / 360° Assessment

Workshop 3 (22.03.2016): The role of E- Portfolio The third and the final segment of the CBME series was on linking the assessment through e-portfolio which was conducted by Prof. N. Ananthakrishan and Dr. Jagan Mohan. In this workshop, the participants identified various deficiencies in the current system of assessment in PG training. They appreciated that for assessing the EPAs, one has to rely on multiple source feedback, which can be captured only through maintenance of e-portfolio. This was followed by a practical demonstration of e-portfoilio as a part of learning management system (LMS) to guide the formative assessment. It is hoped that the batch of PGs to be enrolled for the ensuing session would switch over to the Competency Based curriculum, which will mark a new beginning in the postgraduate education at MGMCRI in particular and the country in general.

Induction and Orientation Programs for the Fresh Residents (2016 Batch) Medical Education Unit (MEU) Organized a Comprehensive Induction and Orientation Program for the Fresh residents (2016 Batch). The Program was organized in two Parts.

Message From Prof. Carounanidy Usha, MDS., PGDHPE., Dean, Faculty of Dentistry Principal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental sciences

It is with pleasure and pride I reflect that the goals set for the previous year have been accomplished successfully. These accomplishments have contributed, though humbly, to the impressive NIRF ranking of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth. These accomplishments have also helped IGIDS to set higher objectives for the subsequent years. Good service to humanity never goes unnoticed. This has proved to be true for IGIDS this year. The extended outreach programs of IGIDS has fetched us global recognition that the University of Iowa, USA, sent their graduate students for 10 days of observership program to the department of Public Health Dentistry. This provided an excellent platform to understand dental education in global context. IGIDS also was the recipient of the DUCT philanthropy award for the services rendered to public by way of camps. Studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcome and the Alumni welfare were the focus of the last academic year. A wide-spread feedback from the alumni on the relevance of current dental education led to the conduct of the first national level dental education conference. The proceedings including a proposal on choice based credit systems for dental education was proposed to the Dental Council of India. This was done with the hope of improving the relevance of education to practice and for the stable future of dental graduates in the current times of turbulent transformations in eligibility exams and higher studies. It is also heart-warming to note that IGIDS has taken the full benefit of the Central Research facilities of SBV and the Allied Health Sciences facilities such as Health professions education, Yoga therapy and Music therapy departments, to commence collaborative research projects. I am positive that these researches will yield results that can transform the dental services rendered to the patient. Looking back at the activities of last year I, as the team leader of IGIDS is convinced that under the able guidance of the Chancellor, Sri M.K. Rajagopalan, Vice-Chancellor, Prof K.R. Sethuraman and the Dean-Research, Prof. N. Anantakrishanan. IGIDS that has grown wings over the years is ready not just to fly, but to soar higher.

Message From Prof.N.Ananthakrishnan, MS (AIIMS)., DNBE, FRCS (Eng)., FRCS( Edin)., FRCS (Glasgow)., FACS., FICS., FACG., FIMSA., FACS., Dean, Research and Allied Health Sciences.

One of the most noteworthy features of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth during the year 2016 is the promulgation of unique, objective, job oriented and evidence based courses in complementary and alternative medicine, besides offering conventional undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. We have looked into the academic aspects of such programmes and also the cohesive research that goes concomitant with the academics. UGC lays emphasis on choice based credit courses as a part of academic flexibility vested with the deemed University. Taking cognizance of this, we have implemented novel and job oriented courses in choice based credit system in certain nodal areas that have been less frequented hitherto in other Universities, viz Health Professions Education, Yoga Therapy and Music Therapy. SBV takes pride in stating that doctoral programmes exist in crucial and inter-disciplinary courses / subject areas. During the last quarter of 2016, an MoU with IMC, KREMS, AUSTRIA has been effected with reference to the PhD Programme in Music Therapy and we feel proud to say that SBV is the first University with which IMC, KREMS has entered into an agreement for Doctoral Research in Music Therapy. It is on a happy note that I wish to state that Allied Health Sciences at SBV has provided the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques like Yoga and Music to promote healing, health, and longevity. Thanks to the foresight of Chairman, Management and all the constituent colleges of SBV. With an excellent infrastructure in place, our goal of being in the top twenty by twenty-twenty is well within reach. I invite you all to jointly put our shoulders to the wheel and push with all our might.

Establishment of Department of Health Professions Education: A new mile stone in the achievement of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth.

Various curricular reforms at the MBBS level, adoption of a competency based postgraduate medical education, establishment of new Centers devoted to YOGA and Music Therapy, are just few examples of its march towards exploring new frontiers of capacity building. In order to bring together all health professions to achieve academic excellence through training and research in pedagogical sciences, SBV had established an Academy for Health Professions Education and Academic Development (SBV- AHEAD). Under the banner of SBV AHEAD, the University launched Post Graduate Diploma in Health Professions Education (PGDHPE) in 2014. This course has been reorganized with effect from this year, on the pattern of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) recommended by the UGC and NAAC. For the first time a one year M. Phil program in Health Professions Education has been introduced for those who wish to continue after PGDHPE. The aspirants can now pursue highest degree of Ph D in Health Professions education. In order to run these courses and to provide an administrative structure for the activities mooted by SBV AHEAD, a new Department of Health Professions Education has been created under the Deanery of Allied Health Sciences, which is one more feather in the cap of SBV. The mission of this Department is to emerge one of the centres of excellence in Health Professions Education in the country, in alignment with the broader mission and vision of SBV. The Department of Health Profession will be responsible for running all programs in HPE (PGDHPE/M. Phil/ Ph D), and pursue training and research in education of all health professions. It will foster inter-professional education, and develop a community of practitioners who will be able to function as health profession educators who can play a key role in development of health workforce for tomorrow. DHPE will participate and organize local and national workshops for the health profession educators. Further, it will provide consultation, training, and mentoring support to the needy individuals, departments, institutes and agencies within SBV as well as at the national level, working for the cause of health professions education.

Students can leave after completing the certificate courses or continue in the PGDYT. Those students who have a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree (science graduates will be given preference) can join the M Phil program if they have completed PGDYT from SBV earlier. The major highlight of the new programs is adoption of Credit Based Choice System (CBCS) recommended by the NAAC and UGC as a major reform in higher education. As a corollary to this system, a competency based approach has been proposed for the new programs.

The Common Yoga Protocol booklet prepared by Ministry of AYUSH was officially handed over by the Vice Chancellor to Prof AR Srinivasan (Registrar of SBV), Prof Ravishankar (Dean, MGMC&RI), Prof CarounanidyUsha (Dean, IGIDS) and Prof K Renuka (Principal, KGNC). In his Yoga Fest oration, Prof KR Sethuraman expressed the need for health professionals to look towards salutogenesis, an understanding of the internal and external factors that induce health rather than merely mechanically focusing on pathogenesis of disease. “Human beings are flawed as they are always susceptible to disease. Yet, some stay healthy even in the worst of conditions. This is because they have a sense of coherence within themselves, find meaning in their lives and hence are more at ease with their lives” said he. Yoga is an ancient system that enables us to create positive environments both within ourselves as well as in the surrounding environment. This harmonious and dynamic balance between the internal and external worlds produces health and wellbeing and healing starts to occur rather than merely managing with symptomatic cures routinely given out by health professionals. In his felicitation address, Prof N Ananthakrishnan, the Dean of Research and Allied Health Sciences in Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth elucidated the steps being taken by Ministry of AYUSH and UGC to facilitate the integration of Yoga and traditional systems of healing in modern medical and paramedical education. Yoga should be part of all courses as it is our gift to the world and has the potential to be an integrative modality of healing working in tandem with modern medicine. SBV has been a forerunner in this integration of the old and the new as for the past six years Yoga therapy and

CIDRF is having collaboration with anaesthesiology, cardiology, paediatrics, pharmacology, microbiology, surgery, medicine, psychiatry, orthopaedics, obstetrics and Gynaecology of MGMCRI, and also collaborate with Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, CYTER and CMTER of AHS. Besides, several joint research proposals with Pondicherry University, JIPMER and SASTRA University are submitted for external funding.In the academic front, Wehavestarted two new and unique academic programs namely Fellowship program in Bio-Medical Research Techniques (ICeFeP in BMRT) and PG Diploma in Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine. In order to improvepatient care, CIDRF started pharmacogenetic services of 26 panels of drugs towards personalized therapy. We are one of the very few academic centres in India providing this service at an affordable cost. Therapeutic drug monitoring of anticonvulsant services are also provided by us. In its efforts towards capacity development and dissemination of knowledge, CIDRF organised 3 national workshops in this year. Our Scientists participated in 51 scientific meetings in various capacities all over India. Scientists of CIDRF published 15 papers in indexed journals. We are able to achieve this due to support and guidance provided by Vice-Chancellor, SBVU, Dean (Research and AHS) and Advisor to CIDRF. We hope in the coming year our scientists will get involved in many more National and International collaborative research projects and bring laurels to our University
