At RajaRajeswari Medical College and Hospital (RRMCH), we believe in training doctors who are not only clinically skilled but also compassionate and ethical. To strengthen this vision, RRMCH has established a state-of-the-art Clinical Skills and Medical Simulation Centre, in the CCL Building , RRMCH.
Equipped in collaboration with Laerdal, a world leader in medical simulation, the centre features many manikins to train undergraduate students, postgraduates, and faculty. Learners can practise a wide spectrum of skills — from basic procedures like intramuscular injections to advanced, team-based management of critically ill patients.
Our most advanced simulator — SimMan 3G— bring real-life scenarios into the classroom. These high-fidelity simulators recreate emergencies encountered in the casualty, operating theatre, and intensive care units, helping students develop confidence, teamwork, and clinical decision-making skills in a safe environment.
The Simulation Centre reflects RRMCH’s commitment to innovation in medical education, preparing future doctors for the challenges of modern healthcare.

The Department of Endocrinology is a specialized medical unit that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders related to the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a network of glands that produce and regulate hormones, which are essential for maintaining various bodily functions.
Scope of Services:
The Department of Endocrinology typically offers a wide range of services, including:
- Diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders: Such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, adrenal disorders, growth hormone deficiencies, pituitary disorders, PCOS, pubertal disorders, and disorders of sexual differentiation, electrolyte abnormalities and osteoporosis.
- Hormone replacement therapy: For conditions like hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, and growth hormone deficiency.
- Management of endocrine-related complications: Such as diabetic foot care, thyroid eye disease, and osteoporotic fractures.
- Endocrine testing and procedures: Including thyroid function tests, insulin tolerance tests, growth hormone stimulation and suppression tests, cortisol dynamic tests and gonadotropin stimulation tests.
Emergency medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the care of illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. Emergency physicians (often called “ER doctors” in the United States) specialize in providing care for unscheduled and undifferentiated patients of all ages. As first-line providers, in coordination with emergency medical services, they are primarily responsible for initiating resuscitation and stabilization and performing the initial investigations and interventions necessary to diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries in the acute phase.
Advances in medicine and science come from new ideas and approaches developed through research. Central Research Laboratory (CRL) is a facility that provides centralized research infrastructure to benefit investigators in multiple disciplines across RajaRajeswari Medical College and Hospital (RRMCH). CRL is Located on the second floor of the college building and our mission is to provide a comfortable, safe and effective environment to conduct professional, high-quality research. This is achieved by providing the necessary environment, equipment and personnel to achieve research goals. CRL acts as a single point of contact for investigators to accelerate their research study and provides structured environment where researchers, undergraduates, Postgraduates and clinicians can work together on projects that are relevant and fundamentally important. Genomics Lab at CRL is useful for doing research at the advanced level as well as for diagnosis and confirmation of certain genetic disorders at the molecular level. This facility is extensively used by our staff for completing their External and Internal Research funding projects, postgraduates for completing their thesis/research projects as well as by undergraduates to complete their STS ICMR projects and for any short term research projects.
RRMCH is proud to announce that ‘Indian Council of Medical Research’ has sanctioned to the Department of Central Research Lab the Scheme……

Year of establishment – 2005.One of the largest departments in RRMCH imparting training to UGs, PGS and dental students, providing quality surgical care to patients and pursuing research work.
The faculty consists of highly experienced surgeons and residents who endeavor to take students’ knowledge and skill in surgery to a higher level. Undergraduate students are trained with the belief that not only theoretical knowledge but also clinical observation and surgical skills shape the future of budding medical doctors. These faculty members remain upto date by regularly attending National and State Conferences and present scientific papers in these fora.The faculty surgeons at RRMCH are dedicated to improving standard of surgical care and are involved in clinical trials to advance treatment. The general surgeons work closely with super-specialists and faculty of other Departments at all times to diagnose and provide timely surgical intervention for complex conditions.
Surgical oncology is a field of medicine that uses surgery to treat cancer. Its main goal is to find harmful tumors in your body and remove them. Doctors who practice surgical oncology can also see if you have cancer or find out if the disease has spread to other parts of your body.
A branch of medicine using surgery to treat cancerous tumors. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, bone marrow transplantation, immunotherapy, targeted medication therapy, and other techniques are used in the treatment of cancer. When cancer is more advanced or in its early stages, surgical oncology can be helpful. While surgery isn’t the best option for treating all cancers, it works well for many of them.
Surgical Gastroenterology (SGE) also called as Gastrointestinal surgery (GI Surgery) is highly evolved and specialized area of surgery that deals with surgical problems of the digestive system which includes organs like Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum, Anal canal, Liver, Pancreas, Gall bladder and Bile duct. The evolution of this department from the erstwhile General Surgery was an end result of an explosion of knowledge in the field of gastroenterology and enormous technical and technological advancements.
The department of Neurology at RRMCH offers specialised neurological consultative services. While Clinical Neurology involves history tracking, neurological examination and formulating diagnosis, Investigative Neurology involves imaging the nervous system using MRI, CT and electro-physiological examination.
Neurosurgery (or neurological surgery) is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system.
