Introduction

Physiology deals with the understanding of mechanisms and functions ranging from cells to the organ systems. The department of physiology was started in the year 1949 when the medical college was established to start the MBBS course. The department has evolved as a PG department since 1973, and offers MD Physiology, M.Sc. and PhD. Medical physiology programs.

The Department also imparts knowledge of physiology to various Para medical courses including F.Y.B. Physiotherapy, B.Sc. nursing and Lab technicians.

Faculties are involved in research in applied human physiology since long. Special areas of research interest are Autonomic function tests, Sleep physiology, Nerve conduction studies, Pulmonary function tests, Exercise physiology, Treadmill stress testing, and Physiological effects of yoga.
