About Department
The Microbiology Department of study that focuses on understanding the microbes that cause various diseases. In general, microbial pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, have direct effects on host and disease processes. Therefore, it is important for a physician to understand how these organisms work in the human body and how they can be identified through laboratory tests.
At PMCH, the Department of Microbiology focuses on providing students with a scientific understanding of diseases and laboratory diagnostic procedures. Our faculty teaches students practical use of culture techniques, identification techniques, and principles of disease control. Conceptual knowledge is important, but true understanding comes when students work in the laboratory, observing and experimenting with microscopic organisms.
Vision
Our vision at PMCH is to train physicians with a scientific understanding of infectious and common diseases by integrating clinical decision-making and laboratory testing.
Mission
- To provide students with a clear scientific understanding of infections and diseases.
- To describe a systematic approach to conducting laboratory research.
- Improving the effectiveness of strategies for disease control and identification of vectors.
- To provide prospective physicians with a strong foundation in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases.
