Undergraduate studies

The department of Pharmacology delivers knowledge of Drugs & therapeutics to the students of second year of MBBS. The strength of medical students is 100 per year. Lectures & practicals are taken regularly followed by examinations as per the guidelines of Maharashtra university of Medical Sciences, Nashik.
UG students participate in collegiate and intercollegiate competitive examinations in Pharmacology. There are two competitive exams held by the dept. of pharmacology, they are:
Dr G M Phadke Award.
Shri Amrut Modi Unichem Competitive exam in pharmacology, sponsored by Unichem Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
Recently, we have initiated the trend of taking Symposium for the UG students. The first symposium was on “Drugs & ANS” which was held on 29th Dec 2009. This symposium was judged by Dr Savita Shahani & Dr Usha Nayak.
Students are also involved in ICMR projects.

Postgraduate studies
The department of pharmacology creates postgraduates in Pharmacology, who later caters their services either in academics or in the Pharmaceuticals. In the three academic years they are involved in taking lectures, seminars, symposiums, journal clubs, animal experiments & activities related to clinical research. The total strength of residents is eight with minimum of two admissions every year.
They are actively involved in national & international clinical trials, where they are trained in procuring, preparing, taking ethical clearance, managing & maintaining the documents as well as electronic data transfer (e- CRF) required for the clinical trial.
They are actively involved in pharmacovigilance. They visit wards & OPDs regularly to collect the data on adverse drug reaction. The data is then entered in computers and analysed. We are in the process of buying the software required for Pharmacovigilance. They take regular training to the clinicians in Pharmacovigilance.

They are also involved in drug utilisation studies in this institute.

Preclinical studies
Space:
The department has three different rooms for animals.
There is one room for rat & mice, second for rabbits & third for guinea pigs.

The department houses the Central Animal House which has rats, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs used for experimental studies. The central animal house is registered with CPCSEA. Dr Vilasrao Kadam is the CPCSEA nominee to our centre. The animal experiments are carried out by the postgraduate students as their PG curriculum after taking the clearance from the animal ethics committee.
We are on the verge of initiating the animal toxicity studies in the department of pharmacology
