Pathology

Pathology is the study through examination of organs, tissues, cells and bodily fluids. The term encompasses both the medical speciality which uses tissues and body fluids to obtain clinically useful information, as well as the related scientific study of disease processes.

The department of Pathology is involved in teaching and training of undergraduate students in Phase-II of medicine and allied courses and postgraduate students in Pathology. Pathology forms the basis for understanding the disease processes and the structural and functional alterations that occur in the human body. The postgraduate training is aimed at producing specialist consultants of global standards. The faculty of the department play a major role in the laboratory services of the Teaching Hospital.

This is essential for establishing the diagnosis of diseases, and monitoring the treatment of patients. Research activities and their publications are being done in the department on a regular basis. The departmental faculty are members of the National and the State Chapter of the Association of Pathologists and Micro-biologists. Regular interactive, integrated academic programmes to foster academic excellence and quality in patient care are conducted by the department under the auspices of the association.

The faculty also hold student counselling sessions with special focus on low performers to help them overcome their academic and non-academic problems.
