I also attended a conference held by Rheumatology department discussing all the latest advancements and problems faced by medical professionals during their duties in the hospital.

I also attended to OPD patients with the consultants and observes the patients and aso performed clinical examinations under their guidance.

I also observed the patients taking treatment in the OPD for their different Rheumatological manifestations.
