2. Academic Direction & Teaching

• Super-Specialty Guidance: Act as a certified postgraduate and super-specialty guide for $DM$ or $DNB$ Neurology residents, overseeing their clinical skill development and thesis projects.

• Educational Programming: Design and drive the academic roster, coordinating daily or weekly bed-side clinics, localized mortality meets, neuroradiology rounds, and structured seminars.

3. Scholarly Output & Research

• Clinical Trials: Initiate and lead multi-centric clinical trials, epidemiological registries (e.g., regional stroke registries), or observational research studies.

• Scientific Publishing: Maintain academic authority by regularly publishing original research or high-impact reviews in indexed, peer-reviewed international or national journals (e.g., PubMed, Medline, Scopus) as a primary or corresponding author.

4. Administrative & Regulatory Governance

• Departmental Administration: Manage internal faculty rosters, delegating tasks to Associate and Assistant Professors, and oversee the procurement and maintenance of advanced neurodiagnostic equipment.

• Regulatory Inspections: Ensure the department meets all structural, faculty-to-student ratio, and infrastructural requirements mandated by national bodies like the National Medical Commission (NMC).
