Mangaluru: Father Muller’s Dr Padmaja Udaykumar bags top honour in medical publication


Media Release

Mangaluru, Mar 15: There has been a tremendous wave of pride flowing through the Father Muller Charitable Institutions (FMCI) with wave upon wave of success and leadership recognition. Latest being the recognition conferred to Dr Padmaja Udaykumar, professor and head department of Pharmacology, Father Muller Medical College Hospital.

Dr Padmaja has been recognized in the article titled ‘Erudite Women’s Outstanding Contribution to the Indian Medical Education: A Recognition on the International Women’s Day 2021 by Manishi Bansal and Shashi Raheja, Published in Global Journal of Medical Research : K Interdisciplinary, Volume 21, Issue I, Version 1.0 Year 2021. Global Journals Inc is a premier research paper publisher with a global reputation for publishing quality journals and services which cover all streams.



Dr Padmaja did her MBBS from Government Medical College, Bellary in 1987 and MD from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal in 1991. She has many publications to her name and has authored many books in pharmacology, noted ones being, Medical Pharmacology for Medical Students, Medical Pharmacology for Dental Students and Exam preparatory Manual under publishing houses of CBS and Jaypee Brothers. She joined Father Muller Medical College in 2000 and has been the Vice Dean between 2016 and 2020. She also took on many roles in the FMCI namely being the Allied Health college in-charge, as a student counsellor which has earned her many praises and has been part of the management and advisory committees.

The article gives a synopsis of 40 women stalwarts who have worked towards the upliftment of medical education of our country India. The authors of the article admit to the fact that writing and article may take days by to author a book take months and years. The women here need no escalator support but are pathfinders in themselves. Thus the article documented and recognized these women so more young talented women may shine too.

The management of FMCI led by Fr Richard Aloysius Coelho has come in praise of Dr Padmaja for being a woman of gentleness, humility and great academician. Her work with students and management needs no mention and she never need to be asked to carry out her duties. Such recognition has bought laurels to the Institution and shows that women are multitaskers and committed to the things they do.

Dr Padmaja has her better half in Dr Udaykumar (MD Forensic Medicine and an expert in the field) who is the medical superintendent of the Father Muller Medical College Hospital and the man behind his woman. Their togetherness inspires many couples to lead their life in duty to their work, family, society and also in pleasures of life. They have two sons one being a businessman and the younger one has pursued his Medical studies in Father Muller Medial College.

    First of all, let me congratulate Dr. .Udaykumar... for her admirable accomplishments in her chosen field and research. However , I have suggestion. Nowadays, they field of medicine has advanced into many branches attracting men and women of different skills, bent of mind, interest etc. A modern hospital therefore needs people who have knowledge and training in running a complex organizations efficiently. A top class researcher say : in cardiac surgery may turn out to be a total misfit in administration. That is why, It is pretty common to in universities in developed countries to offer degrees in health management. It trains persons with medical background to learn about financial aspects and management and leadership , in the running a modern hospital smoothly. So what is needed for hospital like Fr. Mueller’s is a doctor with a qualification and a degree in health sciences management. and leave a research in his/her field. Just a suggestion!
