President's Message
When I moved back to India 24 years ago as a newbie Pediatric cardiologist, I was low on confidence but high on motivation to use my Yale training to help children with heart disease in our country. At the time, the PCSI family welcomed me with warmth and love and helped me grow and continue to learn as well as to network with peers. Over time, I became a more confident Pediatric Cardiologist and resolved to give back to the trainees in some fashion. Thirteen years ago, when I started the e-classes it was a rather radical idea but today, in the post covid world, it is the new norm. The Pediatric Cardiac Society of India supported my concept of tele-teaching. I have received so much love and support from PCSI over the years that when I was asked to take on the mantle of President, I accepted. Over the next two years I hope to continue the legacy of this society in terms of training and teaching and disseminating knowledge that can help children with heart disease, while adding in some new elements that we can do together. If you have any suggestions, advice, things you would like the society to do-pl do not hesitate to reach out!
Warmest wishes
