Practice of Medicine with Essentials of Pharmacology

Vision

To develop a general Homoeopathic physician who is capable of accepting cases, diagnosing illnesses and their patients as well as understanding their etiology and pathogenesis, taking into account both internal (the disease’s fundamental cause, or miasm) and external (exciting and maintaining) causes, as well as the disease’s pathology, clinical features through physical examination and investigations, differential diagnosis in addition to miasmatic analysis, which leads to the selection of medicine and potency in addition to general Homoeopathic management, including diet and regimen. to generate master’s degree holders in the field while pursuing medical specialty training. to create studies and research on “predictive and personalized medicine,” as envisioned by the “Theory of miasm,” which must be made simpler by using contemporary scientific technologies like systems biology and genomics.

Mission

To emphasize the importance of learning how to objectively observe patients in order to get a true sense of their condition and help each one be unique. To help with the integration of several disciplines in the practice of homoeopathy, case-oriented research methodologies have been modified. In order to increase the students’ proficiency and skills in managing patients, bedside clinics are set up in small groups of no more than ten. To establish clinical clerkship with the goal of providing experience in all hospital settings so that students can learn by doing, seeing, and documenting.

About the Department

Although the Practice of Medicine is based on modern techniques, homoeopathy deviates from this approach by treating the patient holistically and determining a person’s hereditary susceptibility to certain diseases through a psychosomatic approach, leading to individualized treatment. Therefore, understanding the individual in both health and illness is a necessary prerequisite. The department is equipped with all essential requirements, eminent and experienced teaching faculties. Best practices of the department include Research activities, Skill lab training, integrated teaching, case discussion and Bedside Clinics for both PG and UG Scholars.

Salient Features

1. The department facilitates the provision of clinical, research, and skill lab training for Undergraduates and Postgraduates including Interns.
2. Undergraduates will get training on every clinical hour; clinical discussions and bedside clinics will take place in the wards.
3. During the clinical hours, clinical discussions mainly focus on clinical instruments, philosophical cases, OP/IP cases, and clinical examinations.
4. During clinical posting assessment, end-of-clinical-posting assessment is also to be done every month.
5. Students are regularly posted at Government Medical College & Hospital Asaripallam, and Mother Anna Cancer & Palliative Care Nagacode for enhancing clinical knowledge.
