This multi-institutional pathway has shaped a clinical scope that runs from outpatient asthma management through to bronchoscopic lung biopsy and ICU-level care for ARDS and respiratory failure.

Trained Across SGPGI, JIPMER, Sir Ganga Ram, and GTB Hospital

Pulmonology training paths typically run through one or two institutions — Dr Abhishek's exposure across SGPGI Lucknow, JIPMER Puducherry, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Delhi, and GTB Hospital Delhi is broader than most.

Each of these institutions handles a different patient demographic and disease pattern, and the cumulative effect is a clinical scope that bridges the gap between tertiary academic medicine, government-hospital high-volume TB and infectious disease practice, and private-sector interventional pulmonology. Combined with Indian Association of Bronchology membership and active interventional pulmonology practice including bronchoscopy and transbronchial biopsy, this depth is now available locally through Paras HMRI Hospital, Indrapuri.
