 ASG Hospital Limited hosted its annual Fellowship Convocation Ceremony in New Delhi, celebrating six ophthalmologists who completed their advanced subspecialty fellowship training this year. With this graduating batch, the number of ophthalmologists who have successfully completed the ASG Fellowship Programme reached 28.
The ASG Fellowship Programme is a post-postgraduate subspecialty training programme in ophthalmology, designed for ophthalmologists seeking advanced expertise beyond their postgraduate qualifications. The programme offers focused training in Retina, Phaco-Refractive Surgery, Phaco-Medical Retina, Phaco-Oculoplasty, and Phaco-Squint.
The six graduating fellows underwent intensive training combining hands-on clinical experience, surgical exposure, mentorship, and academic learning. The programme focuses on developing advanced clinical and surgical skills, sound clinical decision-making, and the ability to manage complex cases in specialised areas of ophthalmology.
The convocation brought together senior ophthalmologists, faculty members, fellows and distinguished guests to celebrate the achievements of the graduating batch and mark their transition from fellowship training to independent professional practice.
The academic programme included interactions between mentors and fellows, with discussions focusing on the fellowship journey, academics, and ethics in ophthalmic practice. The event also recognised the achievements of the graduating fellows through the presentation of fellowship certificates and awards.
The academic programme is supported by ASG Hospital’s Academic Cell, led by Dr. Ganesh Pillay, Chief of Research & Academics and Regional COO (Central India), ASG Hospital Limited; Dr. Mayank Sharma, director – induction & training and regional COO (Rajasthan), ASG Hospital Limited; and Dr. Koushik Tripathy, secretary, Academic Cell and medical director, ASG Eye Hospital, Kolkata. The Academic Cell plays a key role in strengthening structured learning, academic development, and continuous professional training across ASG’s ophthalmic ecosystem.
Dr. Arun Singhvi, MD & CEO, ASG Hospital, emphasised the importance of developing specialised talent in ophthalmology and addressing the growing need for skilled subspecialists. He highlighted the role of structured advanced training and continuous upskilling in bridging the talent gap while ensuring that specialised eye care remains responsive to the needs of the population.
