Webinar

Master Class Series Dr. Abha Majumdar


The idea behind master classes in reproductive medicine

I have been getting frequent request from fellows in reproductive medicine during last several years, across the country, to enable them to join our regular twice a week online classes which we hold at the Centre of IVF, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital regularly. However, lately after COVID we have resumed back to physical classes hence this was not possible. Therefore I decided to teach the clinical and pragmatic part of reproductive medicine on line, and thus the genesis of these MasterClasses. I wish to make this an immersive online experience, which gives everyone not only an opportunity to learn from me but from each other too. With the well read audience, I trust that this platform will also enable us during the post lecture discussion. a mutual two way learning for all involved.

The moderators for these classes are Dr Tejashree S. Borkar and Dr Bhawani Shekhar, who are consultants in IVF and Reproductive Medicine at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital after having done their fellowship with us. This digital two way platform has been created by INTAS pharma and manned by them.
