The department of Pharmacology
at Post Graduate Medical Institute is run by qualified and
experienced faculty. The environment is quite conducive
for the proper functioning of the department. It has got
spacious and well equipped laboratory, acoustically
adjusted lecture rooms with audiovisual facility, museum
with multitude of drug samples and charts and library with
tranquil environment.
Pharmacology is a scientific
discipline concerned with the action of chemicals on
biologic systems. Medical Pharmacology, in which we are
more interested, is the use of chemicals for the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. Medical
students will be instructed and examined in this
discipline theoretically and practically in the 3rd
year of M.B.B.S. session.
Animal house has all the
facilities to keep the animals alive in their required
temperature and perform both routine laboratory practicals
and research projects. It has been the utmost desire of
the institution to evolve research culture.
There are three offices for
faculty members, two lecture theatres which are shared by
other departments, one laboratory, two demonstration rooms
and one store.
The current emphasis has been
on training M. Phil students and those students of
diploma/degree courses who need to study pharmacology as
an ancillary subject. Ongoing research projects of the
students are monitored and supervised by the able staff of
the department. |
