ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Physiology – Branch of science dealing with functioning of the organ system of body.
The Department of Physiology is functional since this institution’s induction in 1965. The department was headed by pioneers in the field of Physiology like Dr. Gajalakshmi, Dr.Shamala Tirumeni and Dr K. Balasaubramanian. The Department which was started with 50 MBBS students in 1965 now caters the educational needs of 100 Undergraduate MBBS students since 2012 and 2 MD Physiology Post Graduates since 2013. We also teach BSc Nursing students, Diploma & other Allied Para Medical students.
Our department is dedicated in providing a comprehensive understanding of Physiology through academic sessions which include didactic lectures, flipped class room teaching, small group teachings, student symposium, integrated teaching with other departments and hands on training through practical sessions. The department is committed in providing updated knowledge in physiology through self-directed learning, early clinical exposure and research. The faculty members of the Department are qualified and experienced, ensuring that students receive quality education and mentorship.
Students have access to state-of-the-art research laboratories Neurophysiology lab, Cardiac autonomic function lab and pulmonary function lab, to enhance their learning experience and practical skills. Physiology department also has a Yoga Research Lab where yoga sessions are conducted periodically for students, faculties and ministerial staff.
The department actively participates in organizing workshops, seminars, and conferences to promote scientific inquiry and collaboration among students and faculty members. Through our academic and research activities, the department aims to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge and improve healthcare practices in our community and beyond.
