Programs offered

  1. Human Physiology (as per R.G.U.H.S. & NMC regulations) for,

  2. Undergraduate courses – M.B.B.S., B.Sc. Nursing, GNM Nursing & PC B.Sc. Nursing (since inception)

  3. Spacious & well equipped laboratories for conduct of experiments on human volunteers & animals.

  4. Equally spacious & well equipped research laboratory providing facility for cardio-respiratory, exercise, neuro-muscular physiology research.

  5. Library, Lecture hall & demonstration rooms with AV aids & Wi-fi connectivity facilitating smart learning.

Teaching Programme

The Department has introduced a novel way of teaching for the undergraduates in the form of pre-lecture questions. Students have to submit a brief write-up before the class. This will ensure that the students read the topic before attending the class and will have a rough idea. Written tests are conducted after completion of every system. This helps students during their Internal Examinations as well as in University examinations. Micro seminar topics will be given to the students with teachers as moderators wherein each student gets an opportunity to present their assigned topic. We are carrying out small group discussion, early clinical exposure, AETCOM MODULES, field visits encouraging students in all fields Each faculty is assigned as a mentor for a batch of 15-20 students, who will be in charge of their academic activities.

Diagnostic Facilities:

The physiology department has been a service department to the Department of Medicine and Department of Pulmonology, Department of Pshychiatry, Department of Orthopaedics . In the future, the department will be attached to the hospital for carrying out tests for needy patients.
