They are introduced to basic research methodology so that they can conduct fundamental and applied research. They are also imparted training in teaching methods in the subject which may enable them to take up teaching assignments in Medical Colleges/Institutes.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
As a nation we have gone ahead in many respects. But there are still areas, which demand attention, care and concern. The area identified by our think-tanks is “global standards in Paramedical education and training. This course will provide trained, qualified, technical personnel in the field of Paramedical Science to support the medical profession. At the end of the course the students should be able to: Establish good clinical microbiological services in a hospital and in the community in the fields of bacteriology, virology, parasitology, immunology and mycology. They will be able to plan, execute and evaluate teaching assignments and research work in medical microbiology.
