Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhilai
Department of Pharmacology
Our mission is to provide outstanding education and training in pharmacology to students that will develop a competent medical graduate equipped with contemporary knowledge in pharmacology and therapeutics who can provide safe, effective and economic therapeutic care to the society and to maintain this competence throughout his/her professional life.
Apart from didactic lectures, teaching also involves practical classes in pharmacology, practical in experimental pharmacology, demonstrations, tutorials and group discussions on clinically oriented problems, drug display and seminars related to pharmacology. We also encourage students to actively take part in research.
Objective
The objectives of the course are to impart the knowledge of clinical pharmacology and practical therapeutics, including fundamental principles, mechanisms of action, rationales for drug selection, optimization of drug therapy, and assessment of therapeutic efficacy and outcome. This includes addressing the following aspects of clinical pharmacology and practical therapeutics:
- To review the principles of clinical pharmacokinetics.
- To enhance students’ ability to evaluate critically, and use effectively, current information sources on clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
- To know the “essential drugs” and their common side effects and practice rational use of medicines.
- To encourage students to take part in pre-clinical toxicity studies, clinical and basic research.
- To present students with practical information on the clinical pharmacology of the major drug classes and the application of such information to the solution of therapeutic problems.
- To apply the knowledge imparted to individually carry out preventive and curative medicine with respect to the commonly encountered health problems in the community.
- To know the basics of pharmacovigilance and apply the same in detecting and reporting adverse drug reactions.
