The Department of Physiology aims at providing students in-depth knowledge of human physiology through class room teaching and direct observation in specialized labs for hematology, clinical physiology and human experiments. The labs are equipped with advanced systems such as sperometers, 4 channel physiograph, ECG, EMG, Ergo Graphs & Polygraphs that aid in both teaching and research. Expansion plans include an autonomic function lab, pain neurophysiology lab and Electrophysiology lab.
The department has facilities for:
Following training facility for undergraduates are available:
State-of-the-art infrastructure, well qualified faculty, good curriculum, location and availability of highly specialized clinical material.

Dr. M. Prem Jayarajan:
Goal The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Physiology is to make them understand the scientific basis of the life processes at the systemic and molecular level and to orient them towards the application of the knowledge acquired in solving clinical problems. Knowledge At the end of the course the student will be able to:
At the end of the integrated teaching, the student shall acquire an integrated knowledge of organ structure and function and the regulatory mechanisms.
