Founded in 1995, the Department of Pharmacology has become an essential pillar of our medical education program. The MD program was introduced in 2008, starting with 3 seats, and has grown to accommodate 6 seats from 2023. Additionally, our Ph.D. program, initiated in 2013, currently offers 4 seats, reflecting our commitment to advancing research in pharmacology.
To date, the department has trained 51 MD students and numerous Ph.D. candidates, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills for a successful career in the field. Our department is distinguished by several innovative features, including a Computer-Assisted Learning (CAL) Lab for simulation experiments and a well-equipped Pharmacy Lab with mannequins for hands-on training.
We also prioritize safety through our Pharmacovigilance program, which focuses on Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) reporting to the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Additionally, our Student Centre is dedicated to enhancing teaching and assessment methodologies, fostering a dynamic learning environment that prepares students for the challenges of modern pharmacology.

Department Goals:
Focus on making the undergraduate students to understand the basic concepts of Pharmacology
Train our Postgraduate students for all the advancements related to various field of basic and Clinical Pharmacology and their application in patient care and well-being.
Inculcate the spirit of Research among Undergraduates as well as Postgraduates.
Department Insights:
To inculcate relevant knowledge of pharmacology to both UG and PG students including PhDs.
Utilizing resources like Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) Laboratory, Expermental and clinical Research Lab and Pharmacovigilance cell provide a great opportunities and learning environment. Here are some suggestions to achieve this goal:
1. Develop a structured curriculum: Design a curriculum that incorporates the use of resources like CAL Lab, Research Lab, and Pharmacovigilance cell to provide students with hands-on learning experiences. The curriculum should include modules on research methodology, pharmacovigilance, data analysis, and evidence-based medicine.
2. Promote research activities: Encourage students to participate in self initiated research activities or research projects under the guidance of a faculty, Provide them with opportunities to work with faculty members who are actively involved in basic and clinical research (Clinical Trials etc.) and to promote and incentivize them to present research work at conferences and symposiums.
3. Provide training on research tools: Train students on research tools such as research methodology, data analysis on statistical software, database management systems. This will help them to effectively manage, analyze and interprte research findings, a critical component of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).
4. Offer practical training: Provide students with hands on training on diffrent resources related to research and academic activities. This will enable them to acquire skills that are relevant to their careers as researchers and academicians.
5. Collaborative Networking: Encourage collaboration among students, faculty, and researchers from same or other institutions.This will enable students to learn from each others, from seniors, opportunities to share knowledge among themselves. It will surely help bullding networks that will be useful for their career growth.
Utilizing sach strategies, students will be more informed researchers and academicians who can work in various fields to promote evidence-based medicine. They will be able to take informed decisions based on sound research knowledge and contribute towards the advancement of medical science
