The Team & The Journey

What is DNB Pediatrics blog about?

DNB Pediatrics blog is a decade old free online resource for medical education in Pediatrics and is an unofficial resource for preparation of MD & DNB exams in Pediatrics.

What we are not?

We are not a medical textbook neither are we, business. We do not reward with a success potion as commercial websites do! that may justify their prize-tag. We come for free. We are not experts but students and yet we celebrate oursleves as the first Pediatric #FOAMed resource in India. We do not ask or accept donations. But If you wish to donate, Donate your knowledge! Submit a correction or write here.

What do we want?

To create a high quality online resource focused on theory, clinical, OSCE examination in Pediatrics available for everyone, anywhere, anytime, and to encourage every reader to teach while learning by writing on this platform.

The Journey

dnb pediatrics blog founder

Ajay Agade

Founder, Author, Student

Hi & thanks for joining me in this tiny world of Pediatrics which was created to keep a self log of academic activities during my residency, starting with notes I prepared for the exam.

The idea was, if someone comes across and finds it useful, all the better!

Somehow the project kept growing during my journey of training from Pediatrics to Pediatric critical care all the way to pulmonology & LTV with help of like-minded people.
