Academic Activities

Ganga Hospital has been in forefront of medical practice and training since 1989 when it was started by Professor M. V. Daniel. Training is aimed at making residents capable of shouldering not only the practical responsiblities of running an orthopedic service but also the theoretical basis of orthopedics. To this end a structured Residency programme is followed which includes:

Daily ward rounds and teaching in the unit in which the resident is posted.
Daily clinical presentation of cases in wards and presentations on grand rounds.
Daily discussion of cases and individual topic as per the programme.
Seminars and review of literature in journal clubs.
Seminar/Presentation on topics of interest and controversies in management held once in a week.

Attendance in all hospital activities and seminars.
Special guest lectures conducted by eminent international and national faculty in clinical controversies, management options and recent advances.
Night duties as per the DNB protocol. All the residents maintain LOG book, registers, copies of content of seminars and case reports as discussed in the grand rounds.
Cases and lectures to be held in the morning and evening as per the teaching schedule.
