A well developed, spacious laboratory having departmental library with capacity to conduct regular practicals, tutorials & demonstrations has been setup. The laboratory is warranted and equipped with state-of- the-art equipment’s. Electronic Audio Visual aids are used by the faculty members to teach the functions, process & interrelationship of the different ‘systems of the body and to equip the student with clinical reference in diagnosing as well as treating.
Human physiology & Biochemistry - 1st Year
At the end of the course of the undergraduate studies, the homoeopathic physician must
1) Develop the knowledge, skills, abilities and confidence as a primary care homoeopathic practitioner to attend to the health needs of the community in a holistic manner
2) Correctly assess and clinically diagnose common clinical conditions prevalent in the community from time to time
3) Identify and incorporate the socio-demographic, psychological, cultural, environmental & economic factors affecting health and disease in clinical work
4) Recognize the scope and limitation of homoeopathy in order to apply Homoeopathic principles for curative, prophylactic, promotive, palliative, and rehabilitative primary health care for the benefit of the individual and community
5) Be willing and able to practice homoeopathy as per medical ethics and professionalism.
6) Discern the scope and relevance of other systems of medical practice for rational use of cross referrals and role of life saving measures to address clinical emergencies
7) Develop the capacity for critical thinking, self reflection and a research orientation as required for developing evidence based homoeopathic practice.
8) Develop an aptitude for lifelong learning to be able to meet the changing demands of clinical practice
9) Develop the necessary communication skills and enabling attitudes to work as a responsible team member in various healthcare settings and contribute towards the larger goals of national health policies such as school health, community health and environmental conservation.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
1. Discuss the Homoeopathic concept of health in relation to integrated body structure and
functions.
2. Explain the normal functioning of the human body at all levels of organization.
3. Relate the concept of homoeostasis with relevant ideas in Anatomy, Materia medica and
Organon of Medicine at BHMS I level .
4. Elucidate the physiological aspects of normal growth and development with focus on evolution.
5. Correlate micro functions at cellular level with macro functions at organ-system level.
6. Use necessary communication skills required for history-taking of the patient & relating various
clinical findings in the patient.
7. Perform experiments in haematology, clinical physiology & biochemistry as required for the
study of physiological phenomena and for assessment of normal function.
8. Identify the normal values of haematology, clinical physiology & biochemistry.
9. Perform clinical – physiological examination under supervision.
10. Correlate knowledge of Organon & Materia Medica with Physiology.
11. Explain the integrated responses of the organ systems of the body to physiological and
pathological stresses.
