I am grateful to my Institute KIMS Narkatpally and the HOD of Paediatrics Dr. Suresh Thomas for giving me the permission to do this fellowship programme at NIMS, Hyderabad. The Department has very much dedicated faculty – Dr. Prajnya, Dr. Shagun and Dr. Dhanya. From the very first day of the Course the learning process starts. Many cases which I read there only in Textbooks, during the course I got the opportunity to see those cases also. There is diversity of cases in the OPD which enriches the Medical knowledge and helps to gain experience in Genetic disorders. I also gained experience in the most toughest part of the Medical Genetics, the Genetic counselling during the course. I also got a chance to take part in fetal autopsy and academic activities like case presentation, journal club and seminars. During the course I got exposure to the lab procedures at CDFD under Dr. Ashwin. Thanks to everyone for giving support in guiding how to approach the patients of genetic disorders.
Thanks to all the Residents in the Department who helped me a lot. |
Plan to join Medical Genetics Department to explore this field further.

At the outset, I'm grateful to Dr. Shagun and the entire SIAMG committee for going out of the way to consider my application.
1) It's a unique initiative with a noble intention. Every day was a very enriching learning experience. OPD was a visual treat as I had the chance to see many exotic cases just mentioned as a rare entity in textbooks.
2)The course enables a clinician to develop a systematic approach to an inherited disorder and draw a definite conclusion on the basis of key clinical features. I got a chance to participate in foetal autopsy equipping me to identify dysmorphic features, lab exposure at CDFD gave me an insight into the various available tests. Also had the exposure of telemeet conducted in the second week of every month.
3)Extremely grateful to the very friendly residents Dr. Surya, Dr. Gayatri, Dr. Laxmi, Dr. Mallikarjun and Dr. Priya for teaching me the basic approach ie History taking, clinical examination, interpreting the reports, helping me deal with the patients and clearing my doubts every day.
4)My sincere gratitude to dedicated mentors Dr. Prajyna, Dr. Shagun, Dr. Dhanya and Dr. Ashwin for taking due interest and guiding me throughout. The discussion during OPD and seminars gave me a better practical understanding of genodermatoses. The experience gained thus enhanced my acumen in this field.
Would recommend this fellowship to be of longer duration and open for clinicians of all specialities.

I am thankful to Dr.Shagun and SIAMG- GENZYME for this wonderful opportunity. I am grateful to Dr. Sumita Danda and Dr.Gautham Arunachal for their valuable guidance throughout the course.
During Genetic counselling sessions, I felt helpful in sharing the pain of parents and giving hope for subsequent healthy pregnancies. This training stimulated me to work for the needy. I acquired basic skills like interpreting neurochemical diagnostic results and metabolic errors. It has strengthened my confidence in approaching genetic disorders. I have carried out Out-patient and In-patient referals with a sense of responsibility. I also sought every oppurtunity to interact with junior and senior collegues to further my learning process by attending various academic activities like clinical meetings, group discussions and interdepartmental debates.
This training helped me to develop the confidence and skills in managing varied genetic disorders. It also enhanced my acumen and readiness to handle difficult diagnostic situations demanding detailed analysis.
I developed the qualities of patience, hard work and perseverance during the training and sharpened my skills in effective counselling with honesty and empathy for the parents. I acquired the passion for genetics with human values of sharing the joy and pain of the parents being supportive to them even at odd times.

Genetics, fetal medicine, postnatal correlation and laboratory techniques, each form an important pillar over which the grand idea of delivering healthy babies stand. Being a fetal medicine person, this fellowship in genetics was indeed helpful to build up the remaining pillars. It provided an insight to variety of genetic disorders in pre and postnatal conditions, a plethora of neuromuscular, metabolic , hematologic(esp thalassaemia) and developmental disorders and an exposure to infertility, reproductive and cancer genetics as well as the emerging genetic therapies. I also had an opportunity to understand the application of bioinformatics and the laboratory techniques during my tenure. It was pleasure and privilege working under Dr I C verma, Dr Ratna Puri and Dr Sunita Bijarnia . I am grateful to Dr Shagun , Dr Ashwin Dalal and Genzyme for choosing me for the fellowship. |
Apply and incorporate this knowledge for better PRENATAL diagnosis of genetic disorders and syndromes, better pre-post correlation, better diagnosis and care of the affected.

Institute of Medical Genetics and Genomics - GRIPMER / Sir Ganga Ram Hospital |
Due to lack of understanding about the subject, Genetics or may I say Genomics is presently misunderstood topic especially for people who are not in direct touch with the subject. Most of us from clinical branches have very little idea about the Genomics and how that can help understand disease pathology in our respective fields. In this short period of 3 months, I have realised that the clinical work should have a genomic correlation especially in Neurology where a big number of disorders have a genetic basis. Even-though many of the disease might be having polygenic inheritance so may have much complexities to their etiopathogenesis but an attempt to understand those complexities might be our first step to solve them and provide clinically relevant solutions. |
At present, I am joining my previous duties. I aim to continue studying neurogenetics in some form and to get more doctors interested in this topic.

I consider myself fortunate for having had this opportunity for learning .The fellowship gave a better approach and insight into dealing with genetic diseases in both prenatal cases and children.The caseload in terms of OPD and the variety of cases was huge , as was the opportunity of working directly under the guidance of Dr Shubha R Phadke. The fellowship included the unique combination of hands on OPD, USG,Prenatal procedures like amnio, CVS ,IUT ,fetal autopsy,lab ( karyotyping, microarray,MLPA) and counselling part of the affected patients and parents. The knowledge gained is very useful in the field of fetal medicine and better equips a clinician in dealing with a case right from selecting the appropriate procedure till the counselling part.I would like to thank the SIAMG for making this a very positive experience. |

I am grateful to my institution - RRMCH, Bangalore and Dr.Adarsh, the HOD of Pediatrics, for having given me the permission to do this fellowship program. My heartfelt thanks to SIAMG-GENZYME for conducting this unique program which enriches medical knowledge and helps to gain experience in medical genetics.
I recently had an opportunity to attend the 14th ICMR medical genetics course which was a great experience, but my curiosity did not stop there ... At end of the course, I heard about the fellowship program. And hence, enrolled in it at NIMS, Hyderabad.
The NIMS medical genetic department has excellent and dedicated consultants - Dr. Prajnya and Dr. Shagun.
There is a diversity of cases presented to the OPD from the different parts of India. Many patients have visited many places to arrive at a diagnosis; this center helped those patients. With an advancing medical field in India, many investigations are now available. Interpretation of the investigation results make difference in the patient's demeanor.
Many cases which we might have read and seen in the textbook or have heard from colleagues, we get the opportunity to see on a first hand basis.
This course helps in the approach of rare diseases and of inherited diseases. It also teaches us the importance of premarital, prenatal and preimplantation diagnosis and newborn screening.
The learning process started from the first day, where there was importance of detailed history taking, careful examination and arriving at a probable diagnosis. The tough part initially was counseling the patient and trying to make them understand the disease. The treatment of many of these diseases are still in the research phase. These needed an extended counseling to patients. In this courses I got chance to take part in fetal autopsy and see the malformations, which I had only read about.
In addition to routine teaching while seeing the patient, there are case presentations, journal clubs and seminars. However it does not end here, telemedicine is done every month.
The course provided exposure to the lab at CDFD. Dr. Ashwin sir, helped me in the interpretation of investigation reports.
Two friendly residents- Dr. Karthik and Dr. Vijayalakshmi, also helped me a lot.
Overall it is great course, allowing me to take home many new concepts, knowledge and profound confidence. |
I plan to do more fetal autopsy and will continue to help pediatric patients especially the genetically based ones. |

This fellowship has been memorable.
The case load, rare diseases, observing different clues to syndromes, prenatal testing and the teaching by the consultants has been remarkable.
Genetics for me prior to this course was a sentence which we wrote in the opd case papers of patients "REFER TO HIGHER CENTRE FOR GENETIC EVALUATION".
Now I can go back to say I have tested the waters of this field , obviously not entirely, but atleast a bit.
Would recommend this fellowship to be of longer duration.
My Learning curve did experience an exponential rise.

It was indeed a great honour and opportunity bestowed on me by SIAMG-GENZYME to undergo fellowship training in the field of Medical Genetics at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India. Medical genetics department at SGPGIMS provides a very pleasant and friendly learning environment where the rarest genetics problems are addressed.
Though the time spent at SGPGIMS was very short, every day was a new and exciting learning experience. The morning sessions, Journal club, paper reading, case discussions etc. were very informative. Not only did I learn to diagnose, plan and treat but also gained a lot of insight on approaching patients and their problems gently and methodically. I gained hands on experience in molecular genetics testing techniques and interpretation of the results.
I am extremely grateful to all the dedicated, talented and friendly members of the Medical Genetics department for all their significant contribution to my learning. My sincere gratitude to Dr. Shubha Phadke, Head of the Medical Genetics Department for her support and guidance. The department has all the potentials to continue to excel in the field of medical genetics.

I would recommend it for any clinician who wants to improve his/her clinical skills and academics. The range of genetic conditions that I could see in the past 3 months has been simply amazing. This fellowship in clinical genetics gave me a birds eye view of what to expect from a career in medical genetics. Even if one is not interested in pursue a career in medical genetics, this fellowship helps you to refine and redefine your approach to inherited disorders. I believe this would be particularly useful to paediatricians, obstetricians, neurologists, endocrinologists and general physicians in their daily practice. |
