We believe in preparing physicians who are equipped to deliver care with integrity and empathy. Each year, we welcome 10 M.D. (General Medicine) students into our program, and currently, 8 Ph.D. scholars are actively engaged in cutting-edge research within our department.

The Privilege centre of the institution enables us to serve the elite section of the society.
