• Self Directed Learning sessions
• Early Clinical Exposure
• Small Group Discussions
• Seminars
• Visit to different Clinical labs of hospital, wards and OPDs
• AETCOM sessions

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

• The department is also involved in research activities.

Current Project :

• Correlation of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction and inflammation in patients with cardiac syndrome X and coronary atherosclerosis
• Research  on autonomic functions helps to better understand how physiological processes influence patient outcomes & implementing evidence - based practices to optimise patient care. Alongwith this, the  patient are advised   based on physiological principles  helping them understand their conditions, treatment options & self management strategies for improved health outcomes
