Dear All,
I, on behalf of the IADVL EC 2017, the IADVL Academy and the DERMACON 2018 Central Supervisory Committee, take the pleasure of announcing the recipients for the Orations for DERMACON 2018.
Here is the list of Orations and their respective recipients:
| ORATION | RECIPIENT | TOPIC |
|---|---|---|
| Ambady Oration | Dr. Chander Grover | Onychology: An integral and vital part of clinical and surgical dermatology |
| IADVL Systopic Oration | Dr. Sujay Khandpur | My Journey into Unraveling Pemphigus |
| IADVL Oration | Dr. Iffat Hassan | Contact and Occupational Dermatoses: An Experience from Kashmir Valley |
Ten applications for the Orations were received this year and these were evaluated by 23 of the 36 Central Supervisory Committee and Academy members who were sent the evaluation forms. The structured criteria for evaluation included the quality of the topic, work experience in the field, publications and presentations, and contribution to the specialty. The scores were tabulated by the Academy Chairperson with the help of the Academy Convener. The three selected applications received more than 60% marks and were approved by the DERMACON 2018 Central Supervisory Committee.
My heartiest congratulations to all three worthy recipients.
Best regards
Regards,
Dr. Shyamanta Barua
Honorary Secretary General (2016-17)
