We also get more than 200 theses done by residents doing MD, MS, DM, MCh, PhD, PDCC and MPH every year. Some of these are of high quality and are potential articles to consider for publication,. Similar contributions may come from other AIIMS in this country.

The articles will have to meet one or all three of three criteria - they must inform, educate and entertain.
