Every November at the graduation ceremony conducted by the Christian Medical College Vellore, we honour the passion that Arundhati had for the subject of Pathology. The Dr. Arundhati Tambwekar Award for Excellence in Pathology is conferred to the best student in the subject.
This year, the ceremony was held on 14 November, and the award was won by Dr M M Shivashangari from the Department of General Pathology.
Dr Shivashangari completed her MBBS from the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College at Perambalur, near Trichy in Tamil Nadu. Currently, she works as the Senior Resident in Department of General Pathology, Christian Medical College, Vellore. Her interests include Nephropathology, Molecular pathology, Hematopathology, Cytopathology and Bone and Soft tissue pathology.
Besides academics, Dr Shivashangari enjoys sketching, painting and photography.
Dr Shivashangari had a message for us. She says, “ I consider myself fortunate and extend my heartfelt gratitude for this award given in memory of my senior Dr. Arundhati. This award invigorates me to work for and serve the community better.”
We sincerely hope Dr Shivashangari continues to excel in her chosen field and serves the community to the best of her ability. Here is wishing her good health, good life, and success.
Keep it up, Shubhi and Sanjay
