Dr. Saurav Iswarari (Kolkata, WB, Phone No.-+919831281291): It’s an excellent course and I learned more than I expected. It gave me the confidence to perform most of the Interventional Pain Management Procedures. The main drawback of the course is that it does not cover Physical Medicine properly. Duration of the course is also too short to cover the subject.
