Academics activities

The department of pharmacology is the place where convergence of innovation, excellence and commitment in advancing medical knowledge take place. It stands at the forefront of pharmacological education and research fostering a dynamic environment for both students and faculty.

Academic Programs include teaching Pharmacology to students as per the NMC based CBME curriculum in the form of Lectures, Quiz, Seminars, Integrated teaching, Problem based learning (PBL),Case based learning (CBL), Self-directed learning (SDL), Preclass assignments, Demonstrations, Small group discussions, etc. These sessions cover fundamental and essential topics in pharmacology, ensuring students gain a robust theoretical foundation

Practicals include Hands-on laboratory sessions with mannequins, demonstration of effect of drugs on living tissues using computer assisted learning (CAL) software, provide students with practical experience in pharmacology reinforcing their understanding of theoretical concepts

Regular workshops and training sessions on contemporary topics like pharmacovigilance and good clinical practice keep students and faculty updated with the latest advancements in the fields concerned.

Research activities

Research Projects:

The department nurtures the research qualities in under graduates by motivating and guiding them for the ICMR - Short term studentship (STS) programs and UGSRS (Undergraduate Student Research Scholarship) programs etc. Faculty, in addition to individual research collaborate with other departments and research institutions to undertake interdisciplinary research projects, broadening the scope and impact of research.
