Dear KSMDAA Alumni Members and Friends,
It has been a great pleasure and privilege to be president of KSMDAA and to host 31st KSMDAA convention with NAVIKA which they have been very gracious and helpful in hosting KSMDAA convention.
KSMDAA was started about 35 years ago and since then its the only large Medical association from Karnataka State and it has held multiple CME conventions in multiple cities in US and in India. Besides donating to multiple charities in US and internationally, runs a charitable Clinic in Kolar, Karnataka. KSMDAA also organizes international vacation trips.
The last convention was held in 2015 at Orlando, Florida and it was very well organized. During the convention we elected Dr. Seshan as president unfortunately he passed away leaving a big gap and i was elected as president in May 2017. Planning to bring back to its original standards.
We also lost the members directory, Dr. Nayak was able to get about 30,000 addresses from different medical schools of karnataka which was published in 2014, Unfortunately many members have moved and we are getting mails back, I request the old members and the graduates from karnataka medical and dental schools to register become Members and actively participate in the activities and help us to update the addresses and emails so we can communicate.
We would like to organize regular CME, get togethers and activities we need younger generation to participate and continued support. There are more than 30,000 doctors from Karnataka if we unite and work together to form a strong association, our work and voice will be heard.
I thank the Executive Committee and the Board of Trustees who have been relentlessly working to make this organization a great one.
Sincerely,
Devangi M. Sreekanth M.D.
President of KSMDAA,
