SYNERGY 2026

Pramukhswami Medical College (PSMC), Bhaikaka University, Karamsad, organised SYNERGY 2026, its flagship national-level conference for undergraduate medical students, on October 24 and 25. Based on the theme “Inquisitive Minds, Broader Avenues: Beyond Traditional Frontiers,” the two-day conference brought together medical students and faculty members from across the country to explore emerging opportunities in medicine, research and interdisciplinary learning.

The conference was organised under the guidance of Bhaikaka University Provost Dr Abhay Dharamsi and Registrar Dr Jyoti Tiwari, along with Dean PSMC Dr Swapnil Agrawal, Additional Dean (UGME) Dr Dinesh Kumar, Associate Dean for Student Affairs Dr Samir Bhavsar, and faculty in-charge Dr Kallol Roy. Final-year MBBS students Griva Patel and Pallav Thaker served as Organising Secretaries, supported by a dedicated student committee representing all professional years.

The conference featured keynote sessions by experts Dr Anand Shah, Dr Shikha Suman and Dr Nimesh Patel, who shared insights into innovative developments within and beyond medicine. Students participated in research paper and poster presentation competitions, showcasing their original studies and encouraging scientific inquiry.

A key highlight was the series of 10 specialised, hands-on workshops designed to strengthen practical skills and broaden clinical understanding. These included a surgical wet lab, Point-Of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), Bioinformatics and Echoes Within, a psychiatry workshop conducted by Dr Devashish Palkar.
