Academic Rotation
If a scholar or eminent pediatric/ neonatal faculty comes from India looking for a short term visit to any of the University hospitals, we have also guided them by contacting NICU division chiefs in that University hospital to accommodate the visiting scholar.
The India Giani Fund has sponsored dozens of research abstracts from Indian pediatricians/neonatologists for submission to the largest international pediatric research conference namely the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) conference which is conducted in a major US/Canadian city every year in the spring.
