Physiology department is
involved in the initiation and promotion of post-graduate
education in physiology. The teaching faculty as a team is
devoted to facilitating the students of M.Phil and
clinical diploma / degree courses who come to PGMI for
training in basic sciences. The students are engaged in
lectures, practicals, seminars, journal club activities &
tutorial classes during the academic sessions. The time
table is provided at the beginning of the academic year.
Spacious offices for the
faculty are available and there is provision of a
well-equipped lecture theatre with audiovisual support and
internet access to accommodate 200 students at a time.
Additional features of the department include a
well-stocked library, functioning laboratory and tutorial

aspect of post graduate training and in the department
