Welcoming Kerala’s first batch of Occupational Therapy students of the National Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Irinjalakuda for their prescribed Clinical Psychiatry posting orientation session at the Government Mental health centre Thrissur. I consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to work towards the realization of this effort of starting Occupational Therapy course in Kerala since the year 2013 and i am extremely pleased to welcome these students to MHC.
