Introduction:

  Pathology is a para clinical department which carries Prime importance in Diagnosis of diseases and predicting Prognosis. The department runs two parallel OPDs, One is Clinical Pathology (CCL) and another is Cytology OPD. The Pathology department  has laboratories like Haematology, Cytology, Histopathology and is providing the Blood banking services. The Hematology Laboratory is equipped with newer technologies like Flow cytometry which is helping needy cancer patients for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, along with other routine hematological procedures. The Cytology Laboratory in GMC Nagpur is IAC Accredited and is counted as one of the oldest (Since Jan1983) and  the best in the country which is also using newer technique like LBC preparation for Gynacological Cytology reporting. The Histopathology section runs a state of art laboratory in Surgical Pathology. The Blood Bank of GMC Nagpur is considered as Model Blood Bank with Blood Component and Plasmapheresis Facilities. In continuing with the patient care the Pathology department will soon have an Advanced PCR/Molecular Laboratory in near future for better care and managment of cancer patients.

2023-

9th January, 2023: Guest lecture on “Publishing in Current Era ‘Under Open Access Charter’- Personal Experience and Innovations”. 

A guest lecture was organised by the Department of Pathology on the 9th of January 2023 under the aegis of Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Government Medical College Nagpur. A worthy alumnus of this institute Dr. Vinod Shidham, presently holding the designation of Professor& Director of Cytopathology Wayne State University Medical Center Detroit, was the invitee. The topic he chose to speak on was titled “Publishing in Current Era ‘Under Open Access Charter’- Personal Experience and Innovations”.  

The programme commenced with the Professor& Head of Pathology Dr. Archana Deshpande extending a floral welcome to the guest of honour Dr. Raj Gajbhiye Dean of GMC Nagpur, the invited guest speaker Dr. Vinod Shidham, and the President of GMC Nagpur Alumni Association Dr. Rawat. During her welcome address, Dr. Deshpande introduced Dr. Shidham as a family member of the GMC fraternity while describing his visit to his alma mater as homecoming. Dr. Deshpande further observed that Dr. Shidham’s tenet that ‘all knowledge be free and accessible to all’ was extremely relevant in the current circumstances and stressed that knowledge would grow only when it is passed on.

Dr. Shidham in his opening remarks aptly depicted today’s academic scenario as ‘Publish or Perish’. He discussed at length his early experiences of publishing while expressing his disapproval of transferring the copyright to the publisher. He then introduced the audience to the concept of open access where everything published is freely available and accessible to all while the author agrees to share while still retaining the copyright. He recollected the difficulties he faced as one of the pioneers of Open Access Publication. He elaborated on  Cytojournal, CMAS i.e. Cytojournal Monograph and Atlas Series, and the importance of H index, and concluded his talk with a reference to ‘Shidham Foundation’ a non-profit organization dedicated to health care for the advancement of art and science of Cytopathology.

The hour long lecture was well-attended by the teaching staff and residents from various departments.
