Dr. Shodhan R Aithal

I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Cardiology at Government Wenlock Hospital, Mangalore, and KMC Hospital, Attavar. My academic responsibilities include mentoring and supervising MD students during their cardiology rotations, guiding undergraduate students during their internship postings, and providing research mentorship to students pursuing academic interests in the field of cardiology.

I am actively involved in the training of B.Sc. and M.Sc. Cardiovascular Technology students, offering a structured teaching program that emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in interventional cardiology procedures and echocardiography. In anticipation of the proposed commencement of the DM Cardiology program in the upcoming academic year, I am also contributing to the development of a comprehensive and structured academic training framework.

In addition to my academic commitments, I provide comprehensive clinical cardiology services to patients at both Government Wenlock Hospital and KMC Hospital, Attavar. I also share responsibility for the effective operation and management of the newly established Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Government Wenlock Hospital, which has been functioning successfully under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. My role involves ensuring the smooth functioning of the catheterization laboratory and supporting the delivery of high-quality cardiac care services to the community.
