July 1 is observed as the National Doctor’s Day across the country. While we saw different events being held to felicitate doctors for their relentless services, a hospital in Chennai decided to make use of this day to encourage school students to take up medical profession. According to a press release, the Fortis Malar Hospital reached out to 50 students of class XI and XII from the biology stream of Avvai Girls Higher Secondary School, and the doctors from the hospital inspired them to take up medical profession while interacting with the students. To give them a better clarity on the challenges and responsibilities of a doctor on a daily basis, students were made to form small groups and each group was assigned under a doctor to give them a first-hand experience of a doctor’s life. The students wore medical coats and stethoscopes and went around with the doctors. The press release also mentioned that the main objective of this activity was to create awareness among the students regarding the commitment required in this profession. The activity also enlightened the students on the importance of maintaining a good doctor-patient relationship. National Doctor's Day is observed every year across India on July 1 in remembrance of the eminent physician Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.
