The Department of Clinical Microbiology is committed to imparting advanced knowledge across all domains of the subject through quality education, ethical research, and a focus on student-centered learning. Our teaching approach emphasizes meaningful academic engagement, encouraging students to become self-reliant and lifelong learners. The department also aims to provide the most accurate and timely laboratory diagnostic services to support effective patient care.
We focus on building a strong foundation in understanding the etiological agents of infectious diseases, enabling early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The curriculum is designed to foster independent learning skills and critical thinking, empowering students to stay updated with the latest advancements in microbiology. Special attention is given to training students in the principles of infection control and prevention of healthcare-associated infections to reduce the burden on healthcare systems and improve patient outcomes.
In addition to education and diagnostics, the department plays a pivotal role in creating awareness about bacterial drug resistance and promoting the rational use of antibiotics. This initiative is crucial to combating the global threat of antimicrobial resistance and ensuring better public health outcomes. Our faculty and students actively engage in both fundamental and applied research aimed at addressing community health challenges, contributing to the advancement of clinical microbiology for societal benefit.
