Undergraduate Courses

The department is training MBBS students in both theoretical and practical aspects of pharmacology. MBBS students are also taught topics like essential medicines, pharmacovigilance, drug information services etc. The sessional examinations for MBBS students include the MCQs (multiple choice questions), SAQs, and viva voice. All animal experiments are being replaced by clinical pharmacology exercises and also by teaching through Computer Assisted Learning (CAL). This helps to reduce use of animals for experimental purpose as per the guidelines of the Animal Ethics Committee.
