Courses Details
The physiology course emphasizes on comprehensive applied understanding of physiology, enables the student analyze and interpretation of real life clinical scenario involving multiple organ systems. The objective of this course is to enable the student to acquired understanding of the concepts and principle of mechanisms of different organ systems of human body in health and disease. The teaching program consists of three main parts viz illustrative learning sessions, laboratory sessions and case/problem based learning exercises.
The illustrative lessons are a series of interactive lectures designed to provide basic conceptual understanding of the various physiological mechanisms of the human body. The laboratory sessions provide a practical output towards monitoring, measuring and interpreting the physiological parameters. The case/problem based sessions are designed to provide an opportunity to the students to interpretation the abnormal physiological mechanisms in various diseases states and thus provide a practical approach to understand the anatomy, biochemistry, mechanisms of diseases, epidemiology and biostatistics involved with the cellular physiology, pathology, pharmacology of treatment and possible surgical intervention needed to become physician.
The department provides competency based teaching learning facilities to first year MBBS students. The department also imparts teaching & training to first year dental and first year B.Sc. Nursing courses. The department is full-fledged with staff, instruments, and books according to current MCI norms.
