MERF Academia logo.jpg

MERF Academia represents the academic wing of MERF Hospital. It began as the brainchild of Prof. Mohan Kameswaran when the hospital was founded in 1996, to practice evidence-based medicine and propagate scientific advancements in the field of otorhinolaryngology. Prof. Mohan Kameswaran has been an avid academic since his early years as a doctor and he took keen interest and passion in teaching and training his peers and junior colleagues to keep them abreast with the latest developments in the field of ENT. Over many years due to his passion to promote academic among our fraternity he was instrumental in starting the MERF academics which is today the pedeastal of training for many younger ENT suregeons who visit us from across the country. Prof. Mohan Kameswaran continues to actively supervise and guide the activities of MERF academics till date.

MERF Academics is spearheaded by Prof. Mohan Kameswaran since its inception and ably guided by our Academic Director, Prof. R.S. Anand Kumar, along with Prof.S.Raghu Nandhan, Senior Consultant ENT Surgeon. The theme of our academia logo symbolises the four main aspects of good medical practice, namely Knowledge, Skills, Research and Ethics, all of which are upheld to the highest standards in our institution.  Under this academic banner, we constantly strive to enhance all aspects of learning among our peers and colleagues by conducting a series of themed workshops, structured CME's and Hands-on training programs, which are accredited with CME points by the Tamil Nadu Medical Council.

ONGOING WORKSHOPS

 

REGULATIONS FOR TEMPORAL BONE WORKSHOP

We have been conducting the Temporal Bone workshop since 1997 with wet bones provided by us for dissection. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, for us to procure wet bones. So rather than stop the Workshop altogether, we have decided to continue the Workshops with the following modifications- We will continue to provide the infrastructure but the candidate will have to bring their own wet bones for dissection dissection by making their own arrangements.

We will provide all other facilities like:

1. Microscope
2. Microdrill
3. Set of micro instruments and the course will be co-ordinated by Prof.Mohan Kameswaran.

 

The course fee will be Rs.5000 /-

 

We are very sorry about this development but we have no alternative as we are unable to get wet bones.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Yours truly,

 

Prof. R.S. Anand Kumar
Director- Academics
