After a gap of 2 years, it is our pleasure to announce the winners of the Dr Arundhati Tambwekar Award for Excellence in Pathology. Last year, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the Christian Medical College (CMC, Vellore) was not able to conduct the annual graduation ceremony. This year, luckily, the graduation ceremonies were conducted for both the 2020 and the 2021 batches!
… And the award goes to …
For Year 2020 : Dr. Kannan Sivaraj ( MD Pathology )
For Year 2021 : Dr. Ashwin Kumar ( MD Pathology )
Both of them have an outstanding record all through their undergraduate and graduate studies, and have also nurtured other interests outside of their profession.
Dr Kannan’s humble opinion is that “Pathology” is the only aspect of medicine that can quench the thirst for knowledge of every seeker who has the elementary question “what causes the disease and how?”, and he aspires to be such a seeker throughout his career.
Dr Ashwin is passionate about helping people, to serve in love, and to achieve excellence in patient care.
We congratulate them on their stellar performance, and we hope that the Award inspires them to always strive in the pursuit of excellence.
Here are pictures from the graduation ceremony.
Such a lovely award and congratulations to its achievers
Congratulations!
You both deserve the award.
Will work towards quenching the thirst and researching for the betterment of humankund.
That was Arundhati’s goal in life.
