Nervous System
Development, structure and function of nervous system and organs of special senses. The common pathology and infections involving the nervous system and their pharmacotherapy.
RENAL SYSTEM
This block provides the scientific background necessary for an understanding of Renal system at a level appropriate for clinical training. It explains the Renal system in terms of the molecular and cellular basis of normal function. It also introduces the concept of cellular dysfunction and the factors which contribute to dysfunctions.

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
This
block provides the scientific background necessary for an understanding of
cardiovascular system at a level appropriate for clinical training. It explains
the cardiovascular system in terms of the molecular and cellular basis of
normal function. It also introduces the concept of cellular dysfunction and the
factors which contribute to dysfunctions.
Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Describe the anatomical location, histology, embryology and thoracic orientation of the heart, its chambers, valves and great vessels 2. Explain the mechanical and electrical events of cardiac cycle including ECG, Starling’s Law of the heart and conducting system 3. Describe the regulation of cardiac output, volume, flow, blood pressure including regional circulation, cardiovascular disorders, infections of the heart and pharmacotherapy
4. Develop skills to identify the normal heart sounds and abnormal sounds in cardiac valvular diseases; measure the blood pressure during rest and after exercise and record ECG and its interpretation in normal and cardiac diseases 5. Interpret the results of investigations pertaining to cardiovascular diseases and acquire an attitude of lifelong learning in management of these
Epidemiology Research Methodology & Bioststistics
The focus of this block will be on helping students learn the scientific method of investigating, analysing, preventing and controlling health problems in a population through understanding the component of research, epidemiology biostatistics. This block is expected to provide the ability for critical thinking, creation and judgments in medical practice. This block enables the students to understand the importance and essentiality of research, principles of epidemiology and biostatistics in medical science and daily medical care practices with an expectation of training the students effectively in Evidence-based Medicine and instilling in them the aptitude for lifelong learning and research.
