Physiology

Overview

Message From the HEAD of the Department

Welcome to the Department of Physiology

The Physiology department is an intellectually vibrantplace.

This Departmental page is designed to introduce visitors and students to our Department, its research, teaching, and administrative activities. Physiology is the study of how the body works in health and diseaseat all levels including molecular, genomic, proteomic, ionic, cellular, organand whole organism. The essence of research and teaching in Physiology requiresan enquiring mind anchored on a global and integrative perspective to theunderstanding of how things work in a living organism.

Department was established in 2011 in New building in GMERSMedical College campus with annual intake capacity of 150 students.The intakehas increased to 200 since 2019. Department is located on First floor and hasinfrastructure adequate to cater the need of 200 admissions per year.

The Department of Physiology at GMERS Medical College,Gandhinagar is committed to excellence in teaching, research and service.Members of the faculty are actively involved in educational programs in thecollege. Members of the Department of Physiology, conduct research in the areasof cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Neurophysiology, and endocrine physiology. Membersof the faculty of the Department of Physiology are involved in collaborativeresearch with clinicians from the Departments of Medicine, Surgery, andPediatrics in the College.

We are committed to help equip and infuse in our students alife-long love for learning, the excitement of discovery and a keen sense ofcuriosity about the chemical, physical and biological functions of life.

I welcome you to the Department and do not hesitate to seeme over any issues. We operate an open door policy. Also all academic staffmembers have office hours during which they are available for consultation anddiscussion outside the formal teaching sessions.

I wish you a rewarding and stimulating learning experienceat the Department of Physiology and The GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar.

Subject Curriculum

CURRICULUM of 1^st MBBS PHYSIOLOGY

GOAL : The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in physiology aims at providing the student comprehensive knowledge of normal functions of body and to facilitate the understanding of physiological basis of health and disease.

OBJECTIVES :

A) Knowledge :- At the end of the course the student shall be able to

1. Understand the functions of all organ system and their interactions.

2. Assess relative contribution of each organ system in maintenance of milieu interior

3. Describe physiological response and adaptation to environmental stress.

4. List the physiological principles underlying pathogenesis and treatment of diseases.

B) Skill:- At the end of the course the student shall be able to

1. Conduct experiments / Investigations designed for study of physiological

phenomenon

2. To interpret expt / Investigations data

3. Distinguish between normal and abnormal data derived as result of test done in lab.

C) Integration :- At the end of the course the student shall be able to acquire an integrated knowledge of organ, structure, function, and its Regulatory mechanism and apply the knowledge in understanding of disease and its treatment.
