Physiology | PESIMSR

Vision

To create a department that ensures academic and research excellence among faculty and students, and empower the students to succeed the challenges of medical profession

Objectives

To increase the pass percentage to 90%

To increase the number of distinctions
To achieve 100% attendance among students
To facilitate the use of modern techniques for better understanding of concepts
To conduct extra classes for slow learners so that sufficient time is available for making the student understand the physiological basis of clinical aspects
To ensure that all faculty members update the recent advances in physiology by attending work shops, conferences and CME s on regular basis

Mission

To provide a strong basic foundation for understanding the physiological concepts behind various clinical entities
To encourage and provide opportunities for independent research among faculty members and to provide foundation for research among the students
To facilitate innovative teaching ,learning methods in the department

To improve presentation skills and build confidence among the students through tutorials and seminars
To involve the students in research and encourage them for paper presentations and publications
To develop and improve reasoning and thinking abilities among the students through MCQs ,group discussions and framing of mind maps
To ensure that the department emerges as a strong link between Basic sciences and Medicine

Under Graduate Teaching

Goal

The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Physiology aims at providing the student comprehensive knowledge of the normal functions of the organ systems of the body to facilitate an understanding of the physiological basis of health and disease6

Objectives

Knowledge At the end of the course the student will be able to:

Explain the normal functioning of all the organs systems and their interactions for well coordinated total body function
Assess the relative contribution of each organ system to the maintenance of the milieu interior
Elucidate the physiological aspects of normal growth and development;
Describe the physiological response and adaptations to environmental stresses;
List physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of disease

Skills At the end of the course the student shall be able to:

Conduct experiments designed for study of physiological phenomena;
Interpret experimental/investigative data;
Distinguish between normal abnormal data derived as a result of tests, which he/she has performed and observed in the laboratory.

Integration At the end of the integrated teaching the student shall acquire an integrated knowledge of organ structure and function and the regulatory mechanisms.
