16th September 2017 was another Milestone in the history of Bangalore Institute of Dental Sciences, Bengaluru. The first ever EDAIC part I examination conducted by European Society of Anaesthesiology was held at BIDS. BIDS received accreditation from ESA to organise the EDAIC part I exam under the guidance and continued determination coupled with powerful motivation of our beloved Chairman , Mr Katuri Subbarao.

The European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care examination (EDAIC) is a multilingual, end-of-training, two-part examination covering the relevant basic sciences and clinical subjects appropriate for a specialist anaesthesiologist. The existence of a supra-national examination in anaesthesiology provides an incentive for the development of departmental, university, national and European training programmes.

The aim of the examination was to achieve a uniformly high standard of knowledge by anaesthesiologists throughout Europe as judged by an independent Board of Examiners. The part I exam was conducted in the college Auditorium from 1.30 pm to 7.00 pm.

The co ordination and supervision of the examination by Dr Else Marie Ringvold, representative of ESA was of great standard and helped to make the event a grand success. Our institution looks forward to be part of such prominent associations as a torchbearer of high education standards.
