Goals :
The department aims to give a holistic view of Physiology as relevant to the practice of medicine, with particular focus on must-know areas as specified by the Medical Council of India and The TN Dr MGR Medical University.
Facilities :
We have well-qualified and experienced teachers to guide the students in theory and practicals and also adequate non-teaching staff to ensure smooth conduct of departmental work. There are five fully-equipped laboratories in the department – Clinical, Hematology, Amphibian, Mammalian and Research laboratories – for training students in the requisite skills. Equipments include polygraph, physiograph, Computerized Pulmonary Function Testing, etc.
There is a well-stocked departmental library having the latest editions of all standard books in common use and also select titles for special reference by the faculty. We also have departmental computer facilities with internet connection for online journal browsing.
Assessment :
Assessment consists of multiple and periodic formative assessments both in theory and practicals throughout the academic year and a final summative assessment at the end of the first MBBS course.
Post graduate teaching will commence shortly and we are fully equipped for the same.
In keeping with the Vision of our Chairperson to make Tagore Medical College an institution of excellence, we constantly endeavor to improve the various activities in our department by encouraging regular feedback from students, parents and staff and acting on their suggestions.
