PATHOLOGY

The Pathology Department in a Medical College plays pivotal role in both medical education and clinical services. It is responsible for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students the fundamentals of disease mechanism, including the structural and functional changes that underlie various illnesses. The department conducts practical sessions, demonstrations and seminars covering histopathology, hematology, cytopathology and clinical pathology. In addition to its academic duties, the department provides essential diagnostic services to the hospital, including tissue biopsies, FNAC, bone marrow examinations and laboratory investigations that aid in accurate disease diagnosis and patient management. It also supports research activities aimed at understanding disease patterns and improving diagnostic techniques.

• Department of pathology has adequate infrastructure facilities to import Medical education for 150 students per annum.
• In college campus, there is Histopathology lab consisting of large grossing room with grossing station and automated tissue processing station along with automated slide stainer facility.
