Clinical Training
Hands-on learning in our integrated teaching hospital
Clinical learning begins early at our teaching hospital. Students observe patient flow in OPD, participate in IPD case work-ups, progressively learn documentation, case presentation, and bedside manners. Panchakarma training covers indications, procedures, safety, and patient education. Pharmacy/Dispensary postings build understanding of formulations and dispensing practices. Weekly seminars, journal clubs, and case conferences nurture clinical reasoning and communication. Supervised community outreach exposes students to preventive care and public health perspectives. By the internship year, learners consolidate competencies across rotations and develop confidence to manage common conditions under faculty guidance.
