Indian Heart Journal CSI Thesis Awards
Cardiological Society of India (CSI) and Indian Heart Journal have constantly endeavored to promote innovative research and inculcate the culture of scientific acumen among students during the formative years of their postgraduate training and beyond. Indeed, this is the foundation on which astute clinicians of the future can be nurtured.
In line with this objective, the Indian Heart Journal, in collaboration with CSI, has instituted the Indian Heart Journal CSI Thesis Awards.
These awards will be held annually and aim to recognize and felicitate innovative and creative research work undertaken by the students pursuing DM/DNB training in the field of Cardiology, Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery. This appreciation and recognition should encourage more students to perform high quality research in diverse areas of cardiology, which shall be vital to advancing and strengthening the field of cardiology.
