Pharmacology

The Pharmacology Department has since developed into a fully-fledged department with comprehensive teaching programs for undergraduate students in MBBS, BDS, and Post Graduate students in MD & MDS. At MES Medical College we take immense pride in our Pharmacology Department, where a world of innovation and excellence unfolds. We are committed to advancing the science and practice of Pharmacology, delivering high-quality education, fostering research, and promoting pharmaceutical safety through our recognized Pharmacovigilance Center.

In 2011, the Medical Council of India granted permission to start postgraduate courses leading to the award of an MD Degree in Pharmacology from the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS). Currently, two students are pursuing an MD Pharmacology degree in the department. The department actively encourages research work by both the staff and students, resulting in several papers presented at various academic conferences at both the national and international levels.
