PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Respected dear members,
Having taken over in 2018 we have made a consistent and sustained effort in uplifting the TN Chapter both at the state and at the national level. Framing by laws, encouraging and enhancing the membership drive, regularly conducting CMEs, online webinars and interacting through the City Pathologist group, it has been a steady uphill move since 2018 till date.

The Annual TAPCON meet in July 2019 has been a diamond in our chapter crown. Proud to have fought tough during the COVID-19 world-wide pandemic, still breathing with smiles during our webinars bringing all of us even closer.

And now in 2021 we have been successful in bringing out our Chapter website, which I feel is like a heart that has started to pump in a newborn that has opened its eyes into the world around. It’s a truly proud moment for all of us connecting worldwide. Hope this helps in our growth academically, technically along with latest advancements in the field of research.

I take this opportunity to thank each one of You who have contributed in one or the other way towards making this website a dream come true.

“TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE” BEST WISHES TO OUR NEW WEBSITE

Regards,
Dr. P. Arunalatha
President – TNPCIAPM
Professor & HOD,
