Dr Nidheekshaa. U. K .A, won the coveted ‘GRG Memorial Gold Medal’ for the best all-round graduate. Ashvanthidhaa S J,won the institute’s highest award, the ‘GV Memorial Gold Medal’ for the best outgoing graduate.

Welcoming the august gathering, the Principal, Dr. T. M. SubbaRao, said that this day represents the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. He expressed his deepest gratitude to the faculty and staff who have guided the students through their educational journey. He acknowledged the young graduates’ families, guardians and well-wishers for their unwavering support, encouragement, and love.
Sri. L. Gopalakrishnan, Managing Trustee of PSG Institutions, presided over the function. He informed that PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research has consistently ranked within the top 50 among all the medical colleges of India as per the National Institute Ranking Framework. This was possible because of the splendid academic and research performance of the students and faculty and the infrastructural and other support systems extended by the management.
Dr. Uma Maheswari, Professor of Pathology, administered the oath of Hippocrates to the fresh graduates, while Dr. G Rajendran, Professor of Cardiology, charged the new graduates. He stressed thatCommunication, Honesty, Altruism, a Rational approach, and Empathy are fundamentals for a successful professional life.
The Chief Guest of the functionwas Dr C N Manjunath,a Padma Shri Awardee. He is a renowned Indian cardiologist who served as the Director of the prestigious Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bengaluru.
Addressing the new graduates, he said, “Congratulations on your graduation! You must remember that holding the hands of the patient is more virtuous than shaking hands. Three things are important when dealing with patients. They are Talk, Touch and Treat. If these three things are done effectively, it will result in Trust. It is very important to listen to your patients because a good clinical history is often still relevant and provides you with a diagnosis, which can be subsequently confirmed by laboratory or radiological investigations. You must keep away your ego because it not only cuts popularity, it also cuts purity. You must learn to treat the patient with the disease and not just the disease. You must understand the financial background of patients and offer the best possible care accordingly. These days, Intensive Care Unit care is so costly that it results in a patient who is physically alive but financially dead. Yours is a noble profession, and you will get respect from society for your activities. Effective communication, documentation, and professionalism are the three important cornerstones for success.”

He also congratulated the management of PSG & Sons’ Charities for giving a free hand to its administrators and for its policy of non-interference in daily activities. It is this policy of macro management and faith in its administrators that all of its institutes are doing very well at the national level. For PSG Medical College to be in the top 50 of medical colleges in India for five consecutive years is no mean feat.

He requested that the doctors focus on their health and follow practices to alleviate daily stress.

During the recent parliament session, he recommended that the government recognise rural service by doctors by granting a few incentive marks over and above the NEET PG scores. He emphasized that every medical college must audit the safety of its personnel on campus and report to the government administration on this so that we are aware of the institutions’ preparedness. He also said that with the increasing number of medical colleges the country would see a surplus of doctors by 2030.
Dr. T. Ramya, Professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, delivered the vote of thanks.
