Dear Patrons,

Season’s Greetings to you for a very Happy and Prosperous New Year, 2017!

We at www.raaonline.co.in wish you the very best of health, success and wealth in this New Year as well. Even

as the state of Tamil Nadu recovers from the emotional, political and natural Blitzkriegs that it has been

subjected to in recent times, the resolute people of TN, us, stand steadfast in the face of such adversity, as we

have always been, and hope for the best to come in this New Year 2017!

We do hope our website provided support to you in the year gone by during a time of critical need. Building on

the promise we had made at this same time last year of developing our website with more and more useful and

delightful features, we are proud to state that www.raaonline.co.in has introduced several landmark features in

2016 that have been whole-heartedly welcomed by several of our honourable patrons. Some of these new

features that have been introduced at www.raaonline.co.in are explained as we proceed.

ASK THE EXPERT: There have been several occasions when a Student – either in Academics or in Practise –

has longed to have the facility to ask a doubt/clarification to a senior faculty. This facility of our website

addresses this exact need and provides a platform for interaction with the Expert. PGs and Anesthesiologists can

post questions on the website for which they seek to learn an answer and an EXPERT of the field provides a

detailed answer to them within 3 days. Further details can be had at our website http://raaonline.co.in/ask-the-

experts/

A screen-grab of this exciting feature of our website is pasted here for your immediate reference:

PACKAGES: Our Packages have been our identity. Our respected patrons have the freedom of choosing any of

the packages available on the website most suited for their needs. We have further expanded our choices of rates

for Packages and have made them more lucrative and flexible for the benefit of our patrons. We also introduced

the Institutional Packages in 2016 that further provide a choice of multiple accesses to the website. Further

details can be had at our website http://raaonline.co.in/raa-packages/

A screen-grab showing some of our exciting Packages is pasted here for your immediate reference:

INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS: As mentioned above, this type of access to our website has been the most

prestigious concept we have worked upon so far. We have been privileged to have had the good fortune of being

associated with certain large and respected names and reputations in our field. We are grateful to them for having

provided us the encouragement and entrusting us with their belief in our website. Further details can be had at

our website http://raaonline.co.in/product/raaonline-institutional-access/

Here is a screen-grab showing the choices available on the Institutional Package:

ONLINE LECTURES: This facility provides our fraternity with the amazing opportunity of watching our

experts show their learnings, experiences and works in conferences and other meetings, on Video! This facility

provides the luxury of watching a video Presentation of an important subject in the comfort of one’s home at

one’s preferred time. Recordings of Presentation of a particular topic by renowned specialists are made available

along with the presentation slides. Further details can be had at our website. www.raaonline.co.in/online-

lectures-access/

Here is how this feature appears like on the website:

VIDEO ANIMATION: This is yet another significant feature introduced on our website in 2016. This section

carries Videos and Animations of various surgical and Anesthesia-related procedures that give a near-live demo

of certain critical and complex procedures. With this feature, one would be able to experience an as-near

generation of a live surgical experience as possible, but with the added benefit and attraction of pointers,

definitions and descriptions. Further details can be had at our website www.raaonline.co.in/videos-animations-

access/

And this is how this innovative feature appears on the website:

VIDEO TUTORIAL: When a student has missed an important lecture, there is no way that he/she would

normally be able to attend it again. Not anymore! This feature is a breakthrough in our attempt to connect the last

mile with our upcoming fraternity. Videos of critical topics such as Airway Transesophageal Echocardiogram,

MRI and Cardiac Surgical Procedures, are made available online for the benefit of our fraternity to watch and

learn from at their convenient times! Prices for this extremely informative feature start at as low as Rs. 1000/- for

a week. Further details can be had at our website. www.raaonline.co.in

COMPATABILITY TO THE ‘I’: After sustained development and perseverance, we have been successful in

2016 to establish seamless connectivity between our potent website and the now ubiquitous Apple product. We

are glad to announce that all contents of our website can now be accessed from your iPhones, iPads and

Macbooks. Please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Support for any guidance if required. (Available from

February 1st 2017.)

As you have seen, it has been a constant endeavour for us to make the best of knowledge and data available to

our valuable patrons coupled with the best of service on the website. Pursuant to this effort, we have strived to

deliver the best to our patrons all through 2016. We have regularly uploaded valuable knowledge through

Presentations, several derived from first-hand experiences, made available critical and updated Guidelines and

provided links to several major other Anesthesia websites. We affirm ourselves to our patrons that we shall only

build on this in 2017 as well.

We look forward to your continued patronage as well as regular feedback on the aspects of our website. Your

feedback is valuable to us and we assure you that it will be sincerely considered and worked on.

Once again, thank you for your patronage and wish you a very happy 2017.

I do hope www.raaonline.co.in lives up to your discerning expectations.

Happy reading!!!
