The Department of Pathology & Microbiology plays a crucial role in the academic and clinical training of undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) program. The department is dedicated to imparting in-depth knowledge of disease mechanisms, diagnostic procedures, and microbial infections, forming a critical foundation for clinical practice and patient care in Homoeopathy.
The department emphasizes a clear understanding of:
- General and Systemic Pathology – including cell injury, inflammation, neoplasia, immunopathology, and organ-specific diseases.
- Hematology – study of blood, bone marrow, and related disorders.
- Clinical Pathology – including urinalysis, stool analysis, and cytological techniques.
- General and Medical Microbiology – with focus on bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, and immunology.
Facilities and Infrastructure:
- Well-equipped laboratories for practical demonstrations and student experiments.
- Microscopy training using preserved specimens and stained slides.
- Clinical specimens and charts for real-time learning.
- Audio-visual aids and models to enhance teaching methodology.
Practical Training:
- Blood group typing
