In this era of competition, medical students constantly need to keep themselves updated with medical knowledge as well as with the happenings around them. There is need to nurture self-learning skills in students, so that they become lifelong learners. There is growing evidence that those who take initiative in learning learn more deeply & permanently than those who don’t. Keeping this in mind, the department has initiated following activities: Seminars, Problem solving Exercises, Prescription writing and exercises in concept of essential drugs.
We offer Pharmacology training for B.Sc Anaethesia Technology, B.Sc Physician Assistance and B.Sc Optometry students. In addition to which training in clinical Pharmacology is given to II year B.Sc nursing students.
