Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Pathology is a branch of medicine that deals with the precise study and diagnosis of human disease. It bridges the clinical and non-clinical subjects making pathology an essential part of the treatment team. Here, the students are engaged towards applying their knowledge of the mechanism of disease to diagnose and treat patients. The pathology teaching sessions are a mix of both theoretical and practical classes where students have an opportunity to observe and participate. We make a pathologist out of them by engaging their knowledge to look for the cause, progress, and effects of disease on a human being.
The department has four full-fledged working sections: Microbiology, Histopathology, Hematology and Chemical Pathology. Research, education and clinical activities are conducted in cooperation with other clinical departments. Our educational and training programs presently include the teaching/ training of undergraduate medical and dental students and students of Allied health sciences. The department is also involved in the development of faculty through continuous medical education and hence, maintains more than 95% of pass percentage for the last 5 Years.
