Let me start with thank you ISKSAA for giving me this learning opportunity. My fellowship was at Aberdeen under Dr. Kapil Kumar, it was for 2 weeks duration. Before I was embarking for this fellowship I was curious as any one would be of, how my consultant would be, will I be able to see a variety of cases how good the place be and other things like boarding etc.

I was lucky to have Dr. Kapil Kumar as my consultant for his sheer passion for work, a very keen teacher who makes sure at very time that your doubts are cleared, he had prepared and scheduled so many and variety of cases for us, that 2 weeks just flew away .

My schedule included attending his clinics and understanding the right approach for clinical diagnosis and treatment. I had lots of confusion regarding the final treatment for few conditions, fortunately they were all addressed with utmost clarity. Rest of the days we were suppose to report to the OT, at 8.30 am , there I used to be with the consultant for preop rounds, there after it was the time for the surgeries where he used to explain the procedure and then we observe the surgeries, after the OT was the session with him to clarify the doubts and questions. I would suggest to the going fellows to fully prepared for the OT meaning read the procedure and condition as much, this will not only be liked by the consultant but also one can learn more from him.

My boarding was at the doctors hostel located inside the hospital which was a single room with a common well equipped kitchen, it was very comfortable.

I thank Dr. Kapil Kumar, for the lovely dinner hosted by him. Sir I have learned a lot from your professional excellence, and also been rubbed with your hardworking, passionate nature. I will be indebted to ISKSAAfor providing me with this opportunity.
