New publication by Dr. Vijay Kannan

Congratulations to Dr. Vijay Kannan, current PGY-2, on his recent publication, The clinical practice of emergency medicine in Mahajanga, Madagascar. Quoting the conclusion from the abstract, "This is the first descriptive study of the clinical practice of emergency medicine in Mahajanga, Madagascar. It provides both the Malagasy and international medical communities with an objective analysis of the practice of emergency care in Madagascar from both diagnostic and therapeutic standpoints. Emergency care here focuses on the management of traumatic injury and infectious disease. The diagnostic imaging, pharmacologic and procedural therapeutic interventions reflect the burdens placed upon this institution by these diseases. We hope this study will provide guidance for the further development of Malagasy-specific emergency care systems." Link
