Department of Orthopaedics Surgery of Maharashtra Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, MUHS, Nashik is established in year 2022 under the guidance of Hon. Vice-Chancellor Lt Gen (Dr) Madhuri Kanitkar, PVSM, AVSM, VSM (Retd.) and Government of Maharashtra.

We applied for new post graduate course establishment to NMC and after assessment got Letter of Permission to start MS Orthopaedics Post Graduate course with 05 seats with effect from 2022-23. Our first batch of 05 Junior Residents joined our institute in October 2022 onwards. At present total 10 junior residents from two batches are undergoing training. Our hospital is the biggest District Govt Civil Hospital in North Maharashtra. We have an enormous workload and Post Graduate students are getting clinical & surgical exposure to all kinds of Orthopaedic trauma, polytrauma, mass casualties handling, pelviacetabular trauma, arthroplasty, arthroscopy and spine surgeries exposure work.

Post Graduate students are subjected to well-constructed, research based, immersive and interactive residency training program. We have an experienced faculty to guide and supervise this training program.

         Post Graduate students are well exposed to OPD work, Ward work, grand rounds, hands on in OT and during emergencies. Case presentation, seminars, Journal club and integrated inter-departmental teaching is conducted as per adult learning medical teaching-learning principles.

To evaluate the progress, we regularly conduct internal assessment exams. We aim to increase the pool of competent and skilled Orthopaedic surgeons so as to cater the healthcare and educational needs of my country.

As a Professor and Head of my department, my vision is:

To train my students in all the domains (cognitive, skill and affective) of Orthopaedics problems so that, “when I need Orthopaedic treatment for me or my family; I should not hesitate to ask my student to operate on me or my family”.

 My departments mission is – ” शिष्यात् पराजयेत ईच्छेत!”. My students must be more accomplished than me.
