As I finish one year of my post and commence the second year, I use this opportunity to thank you for the honor and reflect on the past year, while looking forward to the next.
Our academic agenda remains at the forefront, and the Executive committee has taken steps to regulate, streamline and standardize our events. Clinical meetings and Master series are fairly well attended, however this year we will pay special attention to planning and publicizing these amongst the members. Our courses remain popular, and we have guidelines and protocols to conveners to exceed our already high standards.
MMC CME credit points are important to us now. We are now accredited to hold CME’s, and all our clinical meetings, Master Series and courses should get CME points for faculty and delegates. Each program has to be submitted and approved separately; hence the points cannot be promised. Thus, there is an additional reason for members to attend BOS academic programs.
We have taken a step toward making our society paperless as per wishes of the general body. Our website is now re invented and empowered, and will have all information of BOS at the click of a mouse. I invite you to visit www.bombayorth.org and see for yourself.
The Calendar of Events has been replaced by an online version, and all courses can be applied and paid for online. Communication will be mainly by email, and we have around 600 members ID’s. Please register with us, as the plan is to almost do away with paper communication over the next few years. We also have a mass SMS facility, so do register your mobile numbers.
Social networking has come to BOS, and we now have a strong presence on Facebook, with our secretaries page and the BOS group, where we will share information about our events, and the members can interact with each other.
I remain ever accessible to the members, and feel free to contact me by email

for any assistance.
Finally, I thank all office bearers, conveners and most of all the 2 Presidents, Dr. Jhunjhunwalla and Dr. Agashe for all their support and guidance in running the Society.
