Roots & Reach: Medicine From Classroom To Community

Beyond the Classroom – Conversations with Those Who Teach Us We usually encounter teachers through lectures, exams, and timetables. But what lies beyond the podium? In this thoughtful conversation, we sit down with two professors who have shaped students not just academically, but personally—Dr. Parashuram, an accomplished Anatomist, and Dr. Manjunath, a respected Professor of Community Medicine. Dr. Parashuram reflects on how his interest in Anatomy took shape, what it takes to truly understand the subject, and how students can excel beyond rote learning. He also shares insights from his role as Student Welfare Officer, speaking about responsibility, mentorship, and standing by students when it matters. Dr. Manjunath brings in his experiences from Community Medicine, offering perspectives on public health, empathy, and the human side of medicine. As the Academic Chairperson, he discusses the balance between systems, standards, and compassion in medical education. This episode is a grounded, honest look at teaching, learning, and the quiet impact educators have long after classes end.
