The Diwali CME was held in Aravind-Madurai from October, 8-11. This time each department focused on the theme. During the CME the theme presentation was done through a role play and video demonstration. This really helped them to correct their errors and helped them to learn the quality of work. On October 11 all the Clinical, Nonclinical departments and specialty Clinics presented an update about their departments to all the other staff. It really helped the other staff members to update themselves. It was a very good learning experience to all the staff to think and orient themselves in the better way.

There has been a constant emphasis within our organisation to continually improve specific clinical skills along with soft skills in order to provide the best experience for the patients. CME programmes have proved to be a strong motivation as well as a training ground. It helps learn the best techniques and unlearn the bad techniques. With this objective and Diwali CMEs for the MLOPs were conducted at AEH, Tirunelveli on Sunday, 11th Oct 2009. It started with all MLOP departments and Specialty Clinics presenting an Update about their Departments to all. Dr. Shivakumar, Chief – Cataract Clinic at the end of this session gave a motivational talk. In his address he appreciated the MLOPs for doing excellent work. He also emphasised the importance of our values and culture.
