The Department of Pharmacology is dedicated to providing comprehensive training in pharmacology undergraduate students. We believe that a proficient physician must have a solid foundation in pharmacology, which is crucial for addressing a wide range of drug-related issues. Our dynamic program integrates both traditional methods and modern perspectives, equipping students with the skills to approach pharmacological challenges from a fundamental level and reach logical conclusions.

In line with the CBME curriculum, undergraduate teaching includes a variety of methods such as lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical demonstrations, small-group teaching, self-directed learning, computer-assisted learning,simmulation models, AETCOM modules, pandemic modules, e-learning, Objective Structured Practical Examinations (OSPE), and integrated clinical pharmacology sessions. Many faculty members are active members of the Indian Pharmacological Society (IPS).

Our students gain in-depth knowledge of medications, including their routes of administration, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions, and dosage schedules. Practical training in Drug Assays and Pharmacometrics is supported by well-planned seminars and workshops. Students develop a strong understanding of drug action principles and are trained to select and prescribe the most appropriate drugs for patients, using rational drug combinations judiciously.

We emphasize the application of essential drug concepts, guiding students to address the specific drug needs of different communities. Faculty actively engage in research projects, fostering a research-oriented mindset among students. Undergraduates are encouraged to undertake short-term research projects, contributing to the department’s research activities.
