Research Activities

In addition to conventional lecture-based teaching, lab sessions are also integral part of the teaching methodology. Pathology Lab can accommodate 80 students at a time and is equipped with microscopes and audiovisual aids. Microscopic sections of common diseases and the gross specimens are available, which help the students to correlate what is taught in the theory classes. Provision for teaching with the help of digital pathology is also available
