About the series
Born in the lockdown. Built by the profession.
COVID was not all bad. It also gave us Thursday Musings, a weekly knowledge webinar that has grown into one of the most consistent CME platforms in Indian psychiatry.
Our story
Thursday Musings began on 23 July 2020, a by-product of the COVID-19 lockdown, when clinicians across the country were looking for ways to keep learning and stay connected. Years on, the series is still going strong and has not missed its Thursday rhythm.
Our audience is mainly mental health professionals: psychiatrists, postgraduate trainees, psychologists and allied clinicians. We focus on therapeutics in psychiatry. Some of the country's leading faculty, joined by international experts, lead stimulating, practice-oriented discussions.
The series runs on goodwill. No financial incentive is involved at any stage, for organisers, faculty or participants.

Thursday Musings holds a world record as an online knowledge webinar series, a mark of years of uninterrupted weekly sessions and a large, loyal professional audience.
