Department of PhYsiology
OVERVIEW
The Department of Physiology is one of the fundamental departments in medical education, dedicated to teaching the normal functions and mechanisms of the human body. The department plays a crucial role in building a strong scientific foundation for medical students, enabling them to understand the physiological basis of health and disease.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES AND TRAINING
The Department of Physiology plays a vital role in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education by providing comprehensive theoretical knowledge, practical training, and research-oriented learning. The department caters to approximately 150 undergraduate (MBBS) students and 1 postgraduate (PG) student annually.
Undergraduate (MBBS) Training
The department conducts a structured and competency-based curriculum designed to build a strong foundation in human physiology. The academic program includes:
- Regular theory lectures covering all core aspects of physiology.
- Practical laboratory sessions to develop essential clinical and experimental skills.
- Tutorial classes aimed at reinforcing difficult concepts and encouraging interactive learning
- Quizzes and formative assessments to evaluate conceptual understanding and promote active learning.
The teaching methodology focuses on application-based learning, enabling students to correlate physiological principles with clinical conditions. Practical sessions are designed to enhance analytical thinking, interpretation of physiological data, and basic laboratory skills required in medical practice.
Postgraduate Training
For postgraduate students, the department provides advanced academic and research-oriented training to strengthen subject expertise and teaching competence. The PG training program includes:
- Seminars on advanced and emerging topics in physiology.
- Journal clubs to develop critical appraisal skills of scientific literature.
- Advanced practical sessions for deeper understanding of experimental physiology.
- Micro-teaching sessions to improve teaching methodology, presentation skills, and academic confidence.
Skill Development and Academic Enrichment
To promote critical thinking, communication skills, and scientific temperament, the department regularly organizes:
- Group discussions
- Laboratory demonstrations
- Interactive learning sessions
- Academic assessments
The department places strong emphasis on competency-based medical education (CBME), ensuring that students develop analytical ability, problem-solving skills, and practical laboratory competence essential for medical professionals.
