PRE CLINICAL - Physiology

Introduction

Students interested in this area of body science are guided by a team of dedicated faculty members with excellent teaching resources. The sessions are a mix of both theoretical/ practical training and pre-clinical knowledge instruction. Regular symposia, seminars and dissertation meetings create forums for the exchange of ideas. Faculty members use both vertical and horizontal methods of lecture and demonstration classes so that students can have a deeper understanding.

Department is imparting teaching and training to MBBS, MD (Physiology) and engaged in research activities besides doing many diagnostic tests. Department have Amphibian, Clinical, Mammalian, Hematology and Research Laboratories equipped with modern equipments with good working environment.

Curriculum

The undergraduate students are given a sound grounding in the basics of physiology. The curriculum is comprised of lectures backed by practical classes where students apply concepts in real time. The postgraduate program imparts to students a detailed look at physiology, instructing them through tutorials, seminars and group discussions, journal club and motivating them in research activities of their interest under the guidance of expert faculty.

Facilities of Department

• Department has two demonstration rooms with latest audio visual aids and department library having latest books of subjects.
• Department has 3 specialized Labs.

Viz. Clinical Neuro Physiology, Cardio respiratory and Sleep labs where research activities are being carried out besides Amphibian, Clinical, Mammalian & Hematology lab. The Research labs have facilities of EEG, EMG, NCV, Visual, Sensory, Motor, Auditory Evoked Potentials, and Polysomnography study (Sleep study), Pulmonary Function Tests Non- invasive Cardiac output & Peripheral Blood Flow measurement for the patients referred from our hospital and outside.
