The Motto of Team Physiology: Curing The Foundation

Vision / Goal

To provide individualized care so as to lay a strong foundation for an empathetic and competent physician of first contact or an expert in the art and science of Physiology

Mission statement

• To utilize departmental time and beyond for the effective training of UG & PG students
• To conduct ethical standalone or collaborative research, within the institution or in the community and attempt to publish the same
• To maintain an ambience of camaraderie, cooperation, collaboration and restrained concern among the team members, so as to project ourselves as role models for those whom we train

Good teaching practices by the Department of Physiology

• The use of flipped and blended classrooms, cafeteria method etc. for our undergraduate students with continuous formative assessment
• Increased "hand-holding" and one-to-one training in skill competencies
• The use of On-demand testing and feedback (tests conducted on student's demand - this is a unique initiative, being utilized by students from 2018 onwards)
• Clinically oriented practical training and practical assessment
• Individualized teaching experiences running simultaneously
• Problem Based Learning sessions in collaboration with other pre-clinical departments
• Training in and assessment of aspects of attitude, communication and ethics blended with clinical skills training for undergraduates
