Introduction
History
- GMCC is a recently established Medical College. Date of Establishment of the Physiology Department- 27th july 2015
- This department has a strong academic focus. It conducts teaching programs for medical course as per the MCI guidelines and MUHS, Nashik norms. Research activities and publishing are a major priority.
- Our vision is to create competent graduates who can work compassionately for the society/humanity and uphold the ideals of the Nobel medical profession.
What is “Physiology”?
Physiology is the scientific study of functioning in human body.
Mission
Physiology is the foundation of all medical sciences. Our Evidence based clinical Medicine is based on Physiology. It connects science, medicine, and health, and creates a framework for understanding how the human body adapts to stresses, physical activity, and disease. This understanding enables students correlate between pathology of a disease & its treatment, contributing to the development of the core skills of a competent doctor.
