Message from FM 360 coordinator, Spice Route India

DR KAILAS P

The beginning of the calendar year is at its heart a fantasy of newness and clean slates—of the chance to do things differently and with more attention to purpose. In reality, it’s also one of the most challenging times of our lifetime , as we are returning from a global pandemic and flying straight into an overfull schedule.

Our second issue is a call to take a breath and remember what it is that we’re doing, and why. You won’t find any New Year’s resolutions, but you will encounter many different angles on the ideas and talents of our fellow family physicians.

It gives me immense pleasure to present before you the second issue of our Spice route newsletter . The first issue of our newsletter received an overwhelming response by everyone including students and faculties from all over the world. FM 360 program is on a stand still all around the world due to our global pandemic. So what's the future of FM 360 programs? How are we going to move forward? Will virtual platforms serve the purpose? Spiceroute India council is planning to do something different for FM 360 program by trying it in a virtual platform. We also welcomes ideas , suggestions and expectations regarding Spiceroute India activities from all the readers.

In closing, I would like to thank all people whose help and support have made our first newsletter a success, and all thanks to the editorial team for bringing up this second edition amidst their busy schedule.
