Strohniter DO Memorial Lecturer at the annual Kaikom Founders Dinner. The award was presented for Sachdeva's contributions to Kaikom and the service he has provided to Eastern Kentucky for almost 30 years. Mountaintop News spoke with Sachdeva to hear his thoughts on the achievement. I am truly humbled by the honor that was bestowed on me by the University of Pikeville and the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine to deliver the John Strohniter Memorial Lecture, our beloved founding dean. I have been privileged to be a physician and I am truly grateful to our patients and our parents who have trusted us with the care of thousands of children over the years and I have cherished teaching pediatrics to my students at Kaikom for the last 25 years. So truly humbled and honored. Sachdeva and his wife have dedicated themselves to practicing and furthering pediatric medicine in Pikeville since 1994. The two of them are also accomplished interim professors teaching the next generation of Kaikom graduates. We have been practicing here since 1994 and initially we were practicing as physicians for children and adolescents will be provided care for over 100 mile radius around Pikeville. Now the practice is called home place for families and children. It is really a big honor for Dr. Rakesh to have received this award and it has been a very humbling journey for the last almost 30 years and it has really been a two-way street. Not only have we taught the students the art and skill of practicing medicine, it has also actually enriched our lives teaching them. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
