We are delighted to welcome aspiring and ambitious post graduate candidates to the Kauvery Diplomate National Board (DNB) Program under the auspices of National Board of Examinations(NBE). The National Board of Examinations is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, established in 1975 at New Delhi to standardize postgraduate medical education and examination in India.

A member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences (MNAMS), he has been associated with mentoring DNB programs in India ever since MNAMS became DNB in the Eighties.

Kauvery’s DNB program is unique in that it engages the aspirants immediately into a” total immersion” into clinical practice, guiding them to acquire skills and confidence every day of their lives. Teaching and training go seamlessly, hand by hand, along with acquiring an insight into clinical research.
