Where every slide tells a story.
The Department of Pathology is dedicated to patient care services, education, and research. All faculty members are actively involved in undergraduate teaching and postgraduate training, ensuring strong academic and clinical foundations. The department provides prompt and accurate diagnostic services to all clinical departments, thereby maintaining high standards of patient care.
In addition to MBBS teaching, the department also trains Dental, Nursing, and Paramedical students, contributing to comprehensive healthcare education. Postgraduate students are actively involved not only in routine thesis work but also in independent research studies, with several publications in indexed journals — reflecting the department's commitment to advancing medical knowledge.
