A good physician has to be a good pharmacologist. Students gain a thorough knowledge of medications, such as various routes of administration, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse drug reactions and dosage schedules. Students understand the general principles of drug action and select, prescribe suitable drugs according to the need of the patient. They are guided to judiciously use rational drug combinations in the best interest of the patient. Students are made to appreciate the essential drug concepts and translate that in terms of drug needs for a given community. With well-qualified and experienced faculty guiding them, students can look forward to an interesting course. The faculty keep themselves up-to-date by participating in national and international conferences and-presenting scientific papers. This in turn keeps students updated.
