About the Department
The Department of Physiology was started in the year 1988 for teaching BDS students. We started with 40 students and black board teaching; now we have advanced to flipped classes and iPad teaching. Throughout we have maintained high standard which is reflected in the pass percentage which has now reached 98%. The department of Physiology has an excellent infrastructure and experienced faculty to aid teaching and research activities. Physiology is taught to wide range of UG & PG students. The faculties use various teaching methodologies which are of immense benefits for the students. The faculties are also successfully involved in diverse research projects and have published many papers in well reputed scopus indexed and Thomson reuters journals.
The department is well equipped with Pulmonary Function unit with a computerized digital RMS HELIOS 702 a PC-based Spirometer with a High resolution Color TFT Display for promoting research in respiratory physiology. This instrument measures the lung volumes and capacities in a single breath technique. The department performs various research activities with the students for various publications in lung physiology.
The Department of Physiology also holds an RMS Vesta 301i for conducting various research in Autonomic Function tests, heart rate variability etc. Electrocardiograph is a 3 channel ECG machine with12 lead simultaneous acquisition and Colored TFT for Real time ECG monitoring. This machine comes along with measurement and interpretation, 12 lead simultaneous acquisition, Graphical Colored TFT up to 3.5 inch for Real time ECG monitoring, Paper out Indication with 100 patients memory storage. The faculty and student perform various research in ECG variations and Heart rate variability and publish papers in national and international peer reviewed research articles.
The Department had conducted various International and National Conferences, CME s and webinars every year to update the students in the research knowledge and collaborate them with various scientists of different disciplines and fields of interest. The department has published about research papers in peer reviewed national and international journals.
