About the Department

The Department of Physiology was established in 1984, initially recognized for the UG MBBS course. Later, the department received recognition for the MD Physiology program in 1991. In 2011, the Department started the M.Sc Medical Physiology program, followed by a PhD in Medical Physiology in 2012. Responding to advancements in neurology, the department initiated a Fellowship in NCV & EMG in 2019 and launched the B.Sc Neurophysiology Technology program in 2021. Beyond teaching and learning, the department actively conducts and reports specialized investigations for patients referred from Krishna Hospital and other nearby hospitals.

List of Special Investigations:

- Electroencephalography (EEG)
- Nerve Conduction & Electromyography (NCV & EMG)
- Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

The department also engages in extension activities such as pollution control, Yoga, and Health & Nutrition programs. It participates in research, IPR activities, and ICMR projects. All teaching staff assist in organizing and supporting University NAAC activities.

Skill Development:
- Perform experiments to study physiological phenomena.
- Interpret experimental and investigative data.
- Differentiate between normal and abnormal findings from laboratory tests.

Our Objectives

Learning Objectives for M.D. Physiology PG (As per NMC Guidelines)
A postgraduate student having qualified the MD (Physiology) examination should be able to:

  • Understand and deal with all aspects of general, systematic and applied Physiology.
  • Teach effectively the basic physiological mechanisms of the human body with reference to their implications in the pathogenesis of diseases (Pathophysiology) affecting various organ systems and the physiological basis of their management to undergraduate medical, paramedical and all other basic science students.
  • Understand general principles of medical education (use of appropriate teaching techniques and resources).
  • Explain how the knowledge of physiology can be effectively used in various clinical settings to solve diagnostic and therapeutic problems.
  • Interpret and evaluate research publications critically.
  • Use the library facilities (literature database using computer, CD-ROM, Internet search and other available newer techniques).
  • Conduct relevant clinical/experimental research which may have significant bearing on human health and patient care.
  • Interpret the research findings in the light of its basic and applied significance.
  • Acquire skills in conducting collaborative research in the field of physiology with allied sciences, clinical sciences, and biomedical engineering.
  • Interact with allied departments and render services in advanced laboratory investigations.
  • Serve as an interface with society at large.
  • Acquire administrative skills to set up concerned departments/laboratories and initiate purchase procedures and procure necessary items for running such laboratories.
  • Function as a member of a teaching or research team.
