My Teachers
Prof. V. R. Joshi and Prof. A. N. Malaviya are the teachers of rheumatology from whom we learn a lot of science and practice. Although many of us do not have hands-on experience learning rheumatology from these great teachers, we listen to them at various conferences, seminars, and workshops. Every word and action by them account for gaining more knowledge and insight into rheumatology practice. Therefore, we practice rheumatology, considering them our Guru and implementing their ideas and views in clinical practice.
