Our Story
In the year 2007, Dr P.K Gupta and Dr Sushil Kumar Chauhan concurred that there was a need to have a platform for the interested doctors who desire to upgrade their knowledge and stay abreast with the latest advancements in the medical and surgical field by organizing Continuing Medical Education (CME) talks on a regular basis.
A humble round table interactive discussion about latest development in field of medicine initially with 6 – 7 doctors has now grown into a glorious group of approximately 70 dedicated and well educated medical professionals from various specialties.
They bring with them a sea of experience and are firmly established in the public and private sectors and yet have a craving for academic and professional excellence.
Eminent specialists in various fields of medicine who lead their respective departments in well known and reputed hospitals, deliver their talk on recent advances in fields of their specialty with conviction of its utility in the current medical scenario. A very interactive question and answer sessions with the attending delegates follows which clarifies the doubts and enhances the understanding of the just concluded talk. This result in these CME’s turning into an academic feast for all the attendees and since it is recorded and posted on the social media channels soon after, it reaches many more people across the globe.
Ever since its conception, this novel pedagogy has been well appreciated and accepted by many people far and wide. The success is evident since the forum has successfully organized more than 850 (and counting) weekly CMEs so far and its popularity is rising.
On the heels of its success and popularity, a need was felt to have a recognized forum to impart objectivity to the activities of the group resulting in the creation of ‘Physicians Forum Of India’ which was duly registered as a ‘not for profit’ public welfare Trust on 30 August 2016. Dr PK Gupta and Dr SK Chauhan were the authors of the trust and Dr Chandra Shekhar, Dr SK Mathur, Dr Sushrut Almast, Dr LM Parashar, Dr SK Poddar, Dr NK Gupta and Dr Naveen Gupta as founder Trustees.
