Dr Avneet Singh Kalsi sets record by publishing maximum articles on dermatology in globally acclaimed journals

 


Amritsar (Punjab): A record for publishing maximum number of articles on dermatology in globally acclaimed journals is set by Dr Avneet Singh Kalsi (born on December 19, 1992), a Dermatologist from Amritsar, Punjab. He published eight articles in reputed journals including Dovepress, MedCrave between December 2017 to June 2020, as confirmed on September 16, 2020. The achievement has been recognized by India Book of Record.

Talking about his record, Dr Kalsi said, “During my internship, I noticed many patients with dermatophytic infection visiting our Dermatology OPD everyday and their lesions were so atypical and extensive, that I started thinking about the cause. Despite taking anti-fungal treatment, patient's symptoms took more time to resolve. I went to different teachers in the College to guide me through this mission. Fortunately, I came across Prof (Dr) Rameshwari Thakur, who explained to me that although this will be very tough, but she will try her best to help me out.

Dr Kalsi practiced for about 3.5 years to achieve this success. He said, “My mentor and guide, Prof (Dr) Thakur used to teach me online for 3-5 hours per week. In April 2017, I learnt the basic techniques about collection, processing of the samples and how to culture them. She has got extensive research experience in India and abroad, especially in dermatophytes and Cryptococcosis. Also, when needed, I used to personally go to her in order to discuss in minor details.”

“Once Prof (Dr) Thakur lost her temper and told me that whatever you are aiming at is practically impossible. I took it seriously, but kept on working harder. I guess and am sure that she was confident of my capabilities,” he added.

On getting the recognition from India Book of Record, Dr Kalsi said, “It was like a dream come true. It gave me immense confidence and inspiration. My message to youngsters is - anything is possible with firm determination, hard work and blessings of parents and mentor.”
