- It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome you all for the APICON 2024 from 22nd to 25th February. We will be having a 1 hour 20 minute session on “Research Methodologies and Medical Writing” on 24th February from 10:00 to 11:20 am in Hall C. It will give the Physician Research Foundation an opportunity to share knowledge with postgraduate students and young physicians. This is a landmark step since we will be having a session by the Public Relations and Fundraising (PRF) wing of the Association of Physicians of India (API) for the first time. I must thank Dr Milind Nadkar, President-Elect and the governing body of API for this initiative. It is our effort to inculcate good and ethical research methodologies among physicians in India. We need to do clinical research and publish our findings regarding the special illnesses our patients suffer from. The PRF will also have a director’s oration for the first time in this APICON at Delhi. We have collected data on patients of mucormycosis from across the country and will be publishing this retrospective work shortly. We will be keen on doing prospective registries and case series from across the country. Those of you who have any topics in mind can please share them with us so that we can deliberate upon them and then start collecting data.
- Looking forward to meeting you all in Delhi.
Dr. Gurpreet S Wander
