AlterDoctor is an LLP started by a group of four doctors with a shared vision of working towards the all round development of medical professionals. Mere technical training does not make one an accomplished professional; many a parallel skill needs strengthening.
We bring a combination of experiences and skills- primary to tertiary care, literary to visual arts, high technology to social media. These bound by a need to impact our community positively makes us the AlterDoctor.
On this journey, a magazine for doctors is the first stop. A combination of wisdom of the ages and passion of the youth mark the contributions- an egalitarian mix which will aim to inform, provoke and entertain the community of health professionals.
Through all our ventures, the one common theme will be-
Enlighten, Entertain, Empower.
