This year’s conference theme, ‘Journey of Anatomy from Dissection Hall to Operation Theatre,’ aims to highlight the crucial transition of anatomical knowledge from academic learning to its practical applications in surgical settings. The conference is poised to showcase a wealth of advancements, research findings and innovative practices within the field, contributing significantly to the academic and practical domains of clinical anatomy. Various medical professionals will deliver talks on critical topics such as anatomical and surgical aspects of organ transplant, reconstructive surgeries, 3D printing in anatomy, brain imaging in health and disease, among others.
The event is honored with the presence of chief guests Dr. P. D. Patil, Chancellor, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune; Dr. Bhagyashree Patil, Pro Chancellor, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune; and Dr. Yashraj Patil, Trustee & Treasurer, Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune.
