From Kolkata to Chicago: The ACR-IRA International Exchange Program

Debanjali Sinha, MD  |  Issue: February 2019  |  February 17, 2019

Going Home

They never let me feel the absence of my family over the month’s duration. Whenever I needed anything, the entire department was there, planning it out for me. As I come back to India, I bring with me a fulfilling experience that will help me be a better physician. But more so, I bring with me memories that will last a lifetime.


Debanjali Sinha, MD, is a rheumatologist in practice in Kolkata, India.

    In the good old days, physicians routinely made house calls. The decision to visit the literal bedside of a patient was practical: hospital services were primitive and often offered too little benefit to justify an emergency journey by the patient.
