Dr Sai Lavanya Patnala
In today’s era of medicine, conferences are scientific hubs filled with learning opportunities for collaboration, clinical skill advancement, research discussions and professional growth. Meeting and interacting with like-minded colleagues and experts in the field is quite an interactive experience and a truly inspiring one. Conferences are not only a way for experts to interact and share their research but also, for those in early career stages to learn, get inspired and broaden their perspectives of the field.
