The scientific study of the bodily functions of the living body is imparted as a basic preliminary subject to all the fresh MBBS students of the college. This knowledge is a pre-requisite to understand clinical medicine. A large laboratory complex housing lucid flow charts, diagrams and models fortify theoretical concepts acquired during regular lectures and seminars. A computerized teaching system, Biopac, unshackles complex concepts by perspicuous animated presentations.

The upgradation of the department to a certified post-graduate training centre resulted in improved research activities. The faculty and post-graduates interact with their clinical colleagues in their research programmes. Current focus is on analyzing the beneficial effects of yoga and meditation on common chronic respiratory and cardiac ailments. The department plans to work on diseases afflicting other important systems such as Gastro-intestinal tract and Nervous system in its future research endeavors.
