Professor Dr Amrish Bhagol from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences (PGIDS), Rohtak, has earned international recognition after successfully completing the prestigious International Travel Fellowship jointly offered by the Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons of India (AOMSI) and the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS).
Congratulating Dr Bhagol on the achievement, Pt BD Sharma University of Health Sciences Vice-Chancellor Dr HK Aggarwal and PGIMS Medical Superintendent Dr Kundan Mittal said that the recognition demonstrated the institution’s growing contribution to global academic and research excellence.
“The fellowship is one of the most competitive academic opportunities available to oral and maxillofacial surgeons in India. This year, 62 surgeons from across the country applied for the fellowship, and I was selected through a rigorous two-stage national selection process.
As part of the fellowship, I was assigned to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, one of the largest and most advanced National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in the UK,” said Bhagol.
He maintained that during his training, he gained exposure to cutting-edge surgical techniques and multidisciplinary management of complex cases involving maxillofacial trauma, head and neck cancer, cleft and craniofacial deformities, and reconstructive surgery.
In recognition of his academic achievements, research contributions, and international collaborations, Bhagol has also been recognised as a Visiting Professor at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.
Dr Bhagol has authored more than 100 research papers published in national and international peer-reviewed journals, contributed chapters to several textbooks and holds three registered patents.
His research on mandibular condylar fractures has been recognised among the most cited publications in the field internationally. He has also developed a widely recognised classification system for mandibular fractures.
