The Department of Pharmacology is a paraclinical department that teaches and trains MBBS and MD students. The department is actively involved in teaching & training students on CAL techniques, clinically oriented newer drug delivery devices, analyzing and reporting ADRs, prescription auditing, and drug interactions to make them rational prescribers of the future.
It has a well-equipped pharmacy lab, experimental lab, seminar cum library and a PG research lab for carrying out teaching training & research activities. We practice an integrated curriculum, allowing students to engage in relevant, meaningful activities connected to real life. We have also introduced OSPE & OSCE examination patterns for evaluating students. The department also has a pharmacovigilance unit registered as an AMC under PvPi 2010 since 2014.
