Khedkar studied medicine and surgery in the United Kingdom, at Edinburgh and Glasgow. He practised medicine in Newcastle-on-Tyne before returning to India at the start of World War I, and serving as a surgeon in Bombay, Kolhapur, and Nepal.[2] Among the younger Khedkar's honors were membership in London's Society of Tropical Medicine, and Hygiene and the Royal Sanitary Institute.[3]
