FACULTY
A detailed study of laboratory and other work in various clinical departments is vitally important to develop basic clinical skills for accurate assessment, analysis and critical thinking leading to an appropriate diagnosis and management of a patient. In the areas of clinical studies students are exposed to health problems prevalent in a community. During the course of their study in these disciplines the students spend major portion of their time in clinics, hospital wards and Basic Health facilities with less time on conventional classroom lectures. Students are expected to actively involve themselves in day-today management of patients in the Wards, OPD and Community Health Facilities. They are carried through these disciplines under close supervision of their Professors. The disciplines covered by students under Medicine and Allied specialties include:
• Cardiology
• Dermatology
• Endocrinology
• General Medicine
• Neurology
• Pediatrics
• Preventive Medicine
• Pulmonology
• Radiotherapy
• Urology
• Psychiatry
n addition to treatment and care of patients the students are also introduced to the art of history taking, conducting physical examinations, prescribing investigative tests, interpreting test results and arriving at the reasonable differential diagnosis.
